Frequently Asked Questions
Where do fatal crashes most frequently happen?
They frequently occur at intersections, particularly where a stop sign or signal is missed, or visibility is limited, such as in fog, rain, or darkness.
What makes a crash more likely to turn deadly?
Higher speeds, failure to yield or stop, and poor visibility all raise the chance that a crash results in serious injury or death, especially when a vehicle is struck on the side.
How does speed affect whether people survive a crash?
Even modest speed increases reduce the time a driver has to react and increase the force of impact, which lowers the odds of surviving a collision.
Why does wearing a seat belt matter so much?
A seat belt keeps occupants from being thrown within or out of the vehicle during a crash, which substantially improves the chances of survival in a side-impact or other serious collision.
