What Happens When Vehicles Cross the Center Line
When a vehicle crosses into oncoming traffic, it creates a high risk of head-on collisions.
These crashes often result in severe damage due to the direct impact between vehicles traveling in opposite directions.
Road conditions, driver awareness, and lane control all play important roles in preventing these types of incidents.
