The following excerpt is from Caiazzo v. Volkswagenwerk A. G., 647 F.2d 241 (2nd Cir. 1981):
The term "second collision" usually refers to the collision between a passenger and an interior part of the vehicle following an impact or collision. The term has also been applied to ejection cases like this one in which the second collision is between an occupant of the car and the ground. See, e. g., Jeng v. Witters, 452 F.Supp. 1349 (M.D.Pa.1978), aff'd without opinion, 591 F.2d 1335 (3d Cir. 1979).
