What Makes Head-On Crashes Particularly Dangerous?
Head-on collisions can be especially dangerous because two vehicles traveling in opposite directions meet with substantial combined force. The severity of injuries can depend on vehicle speed, the point of contact, and whether occupants were properly restrained.
These crashes can occur when a vehicle crosses the center of a roadway, although the specific cause must be established from confirmed evidence. Road design, visibility, weather, and driver actions may all be reviewed when determining how a head-on collision occurred.
Seat belts and properly used safety restraints can reduce the risk of being thrown from a vehicle during a serious collision. Even when restraints are used, however, a head-on crash can result in significant injuries because of the forces involved.
