Does the speed at which the accident occurred have an impact on its consequences ?

aNo.
bYes, but only in the case of a head-on collision.
cYes.

Why?

For a vehicle of the same mass, a higher speed means more energy must be dissipated in a collision and a greater risk of serious injury. Speed affects the consequences of different types of crashes, not just head-on collisions. Therefore, C is correct and A and B are incorrect.
