What Can Cause Injuries in Two-Vehicle Crashes?
Two-vehicle crashes can cause injuries depending on factors such as speed, vehicle size, direction of travel, and the point where the vehicles meet. Even a lower-speed collision can cause sudden movement that affects drivers and passengers.
At intersections, drivers should watch for vehicles approaching from different directions and remain alert for turning traffic. Distraction, failure to yield, unsafe turns, and following too closely can increase collision risk.
Seat belts help keep occupants properly positioned during sudden vehicle movement. Drivers can also reduce risks by maintaining a safe speed, leaving adequate space between vehicles, and staying attentive to surrounding traffic.
