What Makes T-Bone Crashes So Dangerous at Intersections?
Side-impact crashes often occur when one vehicle crosses into the path of another, usually during a turn. These collisions can be especially severe because the sides of vehicles offer less protection than the front or rear.
Motorcycles are particularly vulnerable in these situations due to their smaller size and lack of structural protection. Even at moderate speeds, the force of impact can lead to serious or life-threatening injuries.
Intersections with turning traffic increase the risk of these crashes. Drivers must judge timing and distance carefully, and even a small miscalculation can lead to a sudden collision.
