The empty hood of the bathtub crinkled like paper and threw Luca back hard against his seat and out cold on impact. The last thing he sensed as he slipped into darkness was the fire, not on his skin, but starting in the back of the car.
If he hit the rear-end of a vehicle in front of him, the he would have been thrown forward, against the steering wheel. He would have been thrown back into the seat only if HE was hit from behind!!!
