What is a critical condition?
When someone is in 'critical condition' after an incident like the car hitting a crowd, it means their life is in immediate danger. They require intensive medical care and constant monitoring because their vital signs, like breathing and heart rate, are unstable. This often involves hospital intensive care units.
