What Can Make T-Bone Crashes Especially Serious?
T-bone crashes occur when the front of one vehicle strikes the side of another. Side impacts can be particularly dangerous because there is less space between an occupant and the point of impact than in many front-end crashes.
The severity of a side-impact collision can depend on vehicle speed, the location of the impact, and the safety features available in the vehicles. Side airbags and reinforced passenger compartments can provide additional protection during certain types of crashes.
Entrapment can occur when a vehicle is heavily damaged during a collision, making it difficult for an occupant to exit without assistance. The extent of vehicle damage and the location of the impact can affect how difficult it is to safely remove someone.
