What Can Cause Serious Injuries in Intersection Crashes?
Crashes at intersections can result in significant injuries when vehicles collide at an angle or when one vehicle strikes another at a higher speed. Head injuries can occur when an occupant hits part of the vehicle during a sudden impact.
Vehicle damage can provide information about the force and location of a collision. Emergency medical personnel may also assess people at the scene for injuries that are not immediately visible. Some injuries can become more noticeable after the initial shock of a crash has passed.
Drivers can reduce intersection risks by following traffic signals, watching for turning vehicles, and maintaining a safe speed. Staying alert near cross streets can provide more time to react when another vehicle enters the intersection unexpectedly.
