What Details Are Often Reviewed After Two-Vehicle Intersection Crashes?
Two-vehicle crashes at intersections often require a review of traffic flow, driver movement, and the position of each vehicle before contact. Investigators may look at whether either driver was turning, stopping, or traveling through the intersection.
Airbag deployment and front-end damage can help show the force of the collision and the angle of contact. Photos, nearby cameras, and witness statements may also help clarify what happened before the vehicles came together.
Even when injuries are described as non-life-threatening, medical records can still help document pain, treatment, and recovery needs. Road markings, signal timing, and visibility may also be reviewed when a crash happens where two streets meet.
