What Can Affect Injury Severity in Two-Vehicle Crashes?
Injuries in two-vehicle crashes can vary based on vehicle speed, direction of travel, the point of contact, and the use of seat belts. Larger differences in vehicle size can also affect how forces move through the passenger compartment.
Head restraints and airbags provide additional protection during certain types of crashes. Seat belts help keep occupants properly positioned and can reduce movement inside the vehicle.
Roadway design can also affect the risk of a collision. Intersections with multiple traffic lanes, turning movements, and limited visibility require drivers to monitor surrounding traffic carefully.
Drivers can reduce risk by obeying traffic signals, maintaining safe speeds, avoiding distractions, and leaving enough space to stop when traffic changes suddenly.
