What Can Affect the Outcome of a Two-Vehicle Crash?
Two-vehicle crashes can happen for many reasons, including turning movements, failure to yield, unsafe lane changes, distracted driving, or poor visibility. Injury severity can depend on vehicle speed, direction of travel, and where the vehicles make contact.
Seat belt use can also affect the type and severity of injuries in a crash. Airbags and other vehicle safety systems may provide additional protection during a sudden stop.
Investigators can also review road design and traffic controls after a crash. At intersections, investigators may consider signal timing, signs, lane markings, sight distance, and each vehicle’s movement.
Weather and lighting conditions may provide additional context. Photographs, vehicle damage, witness accounts, and available video footage can help establish how the vehicles moved before the crash.
