What Injuries Are Common After Intersection Collisions?
Intersection collisions can cause several types of physical harm because vehicles may travel in different directions before contact occurs. Common injuries include neck strain, back pain, broken bones, bruising, cuts, and head injuries.
Seat belts are one of the main protections available to vehicle occupants. They help keep people properly positioned and reduce the chance of being thrown inside or outside a vehicle during sudden movement.
Drivers can lower the risk of intersection collisions by obeying traffic signals, checking for approaching vehicles, and maintaining a safe speed. Looking carefully before turning or crossing an intersection can also help prevent crashes caused by missed traffic signals or poor visibility.
