What Should Drivers Know About T-Bone Crashes?
T-bone crashes happen when the front of one vehicle strikes the side of another. These wrecks can be especially serious because the side of a vehicle generally provides less protection than the front or rear. The severity of harm can depend on vehicle speed, the point of contact, seat-belt use, and whether the vehicle has side airbags.
After a side-impact accident, people should remain alert for pain or other symptoms that may not appear immediately. Photos of the vehicles, roadway, traffic signals, and surrounding property can help preserve useful information. Witness contact details can also be valuable when accounts of what happened differ. Medical records may later help document injuries identified after the initial evaluation.
