—Traffic accidents are an important cause of facial trauma because the drivers usually have little facial protection. Those patients suffering facial trauma seldom die without airway problems, massive bleeding, or aspiration of blood into the lungs.

Epistaxis was finally controlled by angiographic embolization.
