What Should Drivers Know After a Head-on Collision?

Head-on collisions can cause serious vehicle damage because the forces from two vehicles moving toward each other are concentrated at the front of each vehicle. People involved may experience injuries involving the head, neck, chest, back, or limbs, even when symptoms are not immediately obvious.

Medical evaluation can help identify injuries that may not be apparent right away. Drivers and passengers should also preserve photographs of the vehicles, roadway, and surrounding conditions when it is safe to do so. Insurance information and contact details for other people involved should be exchanged when possible. Witness accounts can also provide useful information about what happened before the vehicles made contact.
