Default Potholes

When driving a car can potholes cause concussions, tbis or head injuries of any kind?

I've read that people that have PCS can have their symptoms irked by driving over potholes, but I think this is because their brains are inflamed (larger) and can therefore hit the inner wall of their skull with less force.

Also, I know that people riding bikes in the street have gotten concussions from running into potholes, but this seems to be because bikes transfer more of the force to the rider.

But for a person that is not suffering from a head injury at the moment and driving a car, can a pothole cause a problem? I am asking because as I was driving today I took a new route and neglected to see a deep pothole in my path. My car doesn't have the smoothest ride and the pothole was pretty darn deep. I was surprised by how far my car sunk into the ground when I hit it. I know that cars' suspensions absorb some force, but is there enough left to hurt anyone?

Thanks for your consideration and good health to you all.
