What Should Drivers Know About T-Bone Crashes?
T-bone crashes happen when the front of one vehicle strikes the side of another. Side impacts can be particularly serious because vehicles generally have less space between the occupants and the point of impact.
Intersections are common locations for these collisions because vehicles approach from different directions. Drivers should obey traffic signals and stop signs and check for approaching traffic before entering an intersection.
Keeping speeds under control can also reduce the force of a collision. Remaining attentive and avoiding distractions gives drivers a better chance to react when another vehicle enters an intersection unexpectedly.
