Frequently Asked Questions
What role does passing play in head-on crashes?
Many head-on crashes happen when a driver attempts to pass another vehicle and misjudges the space needed, drifting into oncoming traffic. Even brief lapses in judgment on two-lane roads can put vehicles on a collision course.
How do median barriers help prevent head-on crashes?
Physical barriers between opposing lanes of traffic are designed to stop a vehicle from crossing into oncoming lanes after a driver loses control or drifts. Roads without such barriers rely more heavily on lane markings and driver attention alone.
What should I do if a car drifts into my lane?
Slow down and move toward the shoulder, which can cause a loss of control. Sounding the horn and flashing headlights can also alert the other driver before a collision occurs.
What injuries are common in head-on crashes?
Head-on collisions frequently cause broken bones, head and neck injuries, and chest trauma from the force of impact. Severity usually depends on vehicle speed, seatbelt use, and whether airbags deploy properly.
