What Are Common Causes of Head-On Collisions?
Head-on collisions can cause serious injuries because vehicles traveling in opposite directions meet with substantial force. These crashes may occur when a driver crosses the center line, enters opposing traffic, or loses control of a vehicle.
Distracted driving, fatigue, impairment, excessive speed, and unsafe passing can increase the risk. Road conditions, poor visibility, and unfamiliar curves may also make it harder to stay in the proper lane. Drivers can reduce risk by staying focused, maintaining a safe speed, and staying within the designated lane. Seat belts provide important protection in a collision. Following roadway markings and avoiding impaired or distracted driving can also help prevent vehicles from entering opposing traffic.
