A magnetic sensor comprises at least one first coil and at least one magnetic sensing element, operatively connected to respective first and second locations of a body of a vehicle and to a ferromagnetic element of the body. The first and second locations are distinct from one another and are in magnetic communication through a first portion of the vehicle and through a second portion of the vehicle, wherein the first portion of the vehicle comprises a portion of the body that is susceptible to deformation by a crash, and the first portion is distinct from the second portion. At least one signal is applied to the at least one first coil, and the at least one magnetic sensing element generates a second signal responsive thereto, from which a crash is discriminated.
