After going through the medical history I would like to tell you that yes it could be very well possible that the artery got crushed by the seatbelt strap pressure during the accident as it passes from above our shoulder.

I hope this information will answer your query. If you have any other doubts you can ask me back or else you can close the discussion and kindly rate the answer.
