I am just wandering what are some possible injuiries when hit by a car. A car going around 40 to 60 kilometers per hour if anyone has experienced this tell me.
Thanks

Why do you want to know?
I'm sure that you can understand that a question like this raises a few eyebrows. As a former insurance underwriter my first thought is that you want to know a list of injuries so that you can fake one after having been in an accident.
If that's the case, be warned that that's fraud, and punishable by law.
If not, then please explain why you're asking this particular question.

Sorry I might have gave you the wrong idea my firend was recently hit by a car and strangly enough she only had a few broken bones it seems like a miracle to me I am just interested to know if that is usually the case you know or if she was super lucky. There is know way I would want to be hit by a car never.

Every accident is different. Some people are in horrific accidents, their cars completely totaled, and they walk away without a scratch.
Others get rear ended at a stop sign and end up in the hospital for months.
It depends on the positioning of the cars, the speed, whether seat belts were used, air bags were deployed, how the person was positioned, how their bodies reacted, pre-existing injuries, so many different factors.
Your friend is lucky. Any accident, no matter how small, can lead to serious injuries, so anything you can walk away from with no injuries or minor broken bones, is a blessing.
