This is a case report of a 30-year-old gemelli pregnant woman in gestation week 15 and 6 days, who was admitted to a local hospital after being involved in a high impact motor vehicle accident. Traumatic uterine rupture was suspected and the patient was immediately operated with exploratory laparotomy. Emergency hysterectomy was performed, hence the pregnancy was terminated. This case is a rare obstetric trauma situation, and prompt diagnosis is life-saving.
