Causes of Head-On Crashes

Head-on collisions occur when two vehicles crash into each other head first. They frequently transpire at intersections or on two lane roads, when one vehicle enters the other lane and into oncoming traffic. Even at relatively low speeds, serious injuries can still happen since the speed of both vehicles contributes to the impact.

Common causes of head-on collisions include the following:

• Speeding
• Distracted driving
• Reckless driving and careless driving
• Drunk or drugged driving(DUI)
• Poor road conditions
• Inclement weather
