Acute traumatic transection of the thoracic aorta is most commonly seen in vehicular trauma and is generally accepted to be due to differential deceleration. A second mechanism is proposed for this injury and that is the osseous pinch mechanism. We report a case where aortic transection occurred due to a crush injury and supports the latter mechanism.
