Frequently Asked Questions
What can drivers do to avoid intersection crashes like this one?
Coming to a full stop, checking all directions before proceeding, and never assuming another driver will yield can help prevent collisions at intersections.

What usually causes intersection crashes?
Common causes include failing to yield the right of way, running a red light or stop sign, distracted driving, and misjudging the speed of oncoming traffic.
