Go to ER: Abdominal pain following a car crash is due to internal injuries until proven otherwise. In fact, the organ most susceptible to trauma is the spleen, which is located in the left upper abdomen. An er is equipped to best evaluate you and order a ct scan, if appropriate. Please don't delay.

See below: If you were not evaluated at a trauma center after the accident. It would be best to seek medical advice from an individual skilled in the assessment of the injured patient population. There are certain entities associated with blunt abdominal trauma that should be ruled out.
