Frequently Asked Questions
Why do two-car crashes like this happen at intersections?
Intersection crashes commonly result from one driver failing to yield, running a stop sign or signal, or entering the intersection too fast to stop safely. Speed reduces the time a driver has to react to cross traffic.
What should I do if I witness a crash like this?
Pull over safely, call 911, and avoid moving an injured person unless there's immediate danger. Stay back from the roadway until emergency crews arrive, and be ready to give investigators a brief account of what you saw.
What are common injuries in intersection crashes?
Occupants can suffer head, neck and chest injuries from the impact, along with broken bones. Severity usually depends on speed and where each vehicle was struck.
