Tyre tread marks on the body without internal injuries.
Two cases are presented involving a 5-year-old boy with tyre tread impressions on the back and right arm and a 4-year-old girl with tread marks on the head but both had no internal injuries. These cases suggest that injuries to internal organs do not always occur when the trunk or head is run over by the wheels of a vehicle.
