Why Left-Turn Collisions Usually Result in Serious Injuries
Left-turn collisions are among the more common types of intersection accidents because drivers must cross the path of oncoming traffic. Judging the speed and distance of approaching vehicles can be difficult, especially on highways with higher travel speeds.
Side-impact collisions can cause significant harm because there is less space between the point of impact and the vehicle’s occupants. Drivers can help reduce these risks by waiting for a safe opening before turning, watching carefully for approaching traffic, and obeying traffic signs and signals. Remaining attentive at intersections can help improve safety for everyone on the road.
