Description: A young man was found lying in a ditch at the side of road near his parked motor vehicle. The mechanism of injury was uncertain and, although he was alert at the scene, it was not clear if there had been loss of consciousness prior to ambulance arrival. The patient was a bit drowsy and when asked what happened he claimed that he was assaulted. Furthermore, he complained of pain "all over," including his neck. He was immobilized and transferred to the emergency department (ED) with spinal precautions.
