Laryngeal fracture is rare but fatal traumatic injury which is mainly caused by severe blunt trauma from interpersonal violence, motor vehicle accident or sports injuries. Laryngeal fracture can lead to severe airway collapse and death.Mortality decreases to less than 5% once the airways made patent and laryngeal injuries are corrected.People must take motorcycle riding safety course to learn how to ride safely. Always follow traffic rules. The motor vehicle accident can be prevented largely through public awareness and education
