What Can Make Two-Vehicle Crashes More Serious?
Two-vehicle crashes can produce a wide range of injuries depending on the speed, size, and direction of the vehicles involved. The point of impact can also affect the amount of force transferred to occupants.
Vehicle occupants may face different risks in a collision depending on whether the impact occurs at the front, side, or rear. Seat belts and properly used safety systems can reduce the chance of serious harm during many types of crashes.
Roadway conditions can also affect how vehicles respond during an emergency. Drivers should maintain a safe speed, remain attentive to surrounding traffic, and leave enough distance to react when another vehicle stops or changes direction.
