Frequently Asked Questions
What injuries commonly result from intersection crashes like this one?
Drivers and passengers in intersection collisions frequently suffer whiplash, head injuries, broken bones, and bruising from the impact, depending on the angle and speed of the vehicles involved.
What typically causes crashes at intersections?
Common causes include failing to yield the right of way, running red lights or stop signs, misjudging oncoming traffic while turning, and distracted or inattentive driving.
How much does speed affect how serious a crash is?
Higher speeds give drivers less time to react and increase the force of impact, which usually results in more serious injuries and more vehicle damage.
Why is distracted driving considered so risky?
Taking eyes or attention off the road for even a few seconds can mean missing a stopped vehicle, a traffic signal, or a pedestrian, which is enough time for a crash to become unavoidable.
