Causes of Head-On Collisions
A head-on collision is any accident where the front of one vehicle strikes the front of another. These crashes often cause severe injuries or death due to the amount of force involved. While only around 2% of car accidents are head-on collisions, they account for 10% of all fatal crashes. Common causes of head-on collisions include:
- Driving on the wrong side of the road
- Crossing the center divider or center line
- Passing incorrectly on a two-lane road
- Speeding
- Falling asleep behind the wheel and drifting into oncoming traffic
- Not reading or following road signs correctly
