What Can Cause Injuries in Two-Vehicle Crashes?
Two-vehicle crashes can cause injuries when vehicles collide at intersections, merge into traffic, or travel in opposite directions. Speed, failure to yield, distraction, and unsafe turns can increase collision severity. Airbag deployment can indicate that a vehicle experienced a significant enough impact to activate its restraint system, but it does not by itself determine injury severity.
Seat belts remain a primary safety measure for vehicle occupants. Drivers should also follow posted speed limits, maintain safe distances, and stay alert at intersections. Avoiding handheld phone use can help motorists recognize changing traffic conditions sooner. Properly maintained brakes, tires, lights, and other safety equipment can also support safer travel.
