Why T-Bone Crashes Can Lead to Serious Injuries
Side-impact crashes, usually referred to as T-bone collisions, can result in significant damage because the sides of most vehicles provide less protection than the front or rear. These types of crashes commonly occur at intersections when one vehicle enters the path of another.
After a side-impact crash, investigators typically review vehicle positions, traffic control devices, roadway conditions, witness statements, and any available surveillance or dash camera footage. Damage patterns can also help determine how the vehicles came together. As additional information becomes available, medical updates, roadway evidence, and other findings may provide a clearer picture of what occurred and the factors that contributed to the collision.
