The Dangers of Head-On Accidents

By Zane T. Cagle | April 5, 2021 | Car Accidents, Featured, Personal Injury, Wrongful Death

Head-on collisions generally are considered to be the most serious of all types of auto accidents. They happened when two vehicles strike each other from the front, and they are very likely to cause serious injuries or even death. Usually, head-on collisions occur at greater strike force than when cars strike at any other angle because the force of both vehicles is combined. Another reason the head-on crash is so dangerous is that the force is concentrated close to the driver and the front-seat passengers. In a head-on crash, the victims often absorb the bulk of the force of the direct hit.

Head-on collisions happen for a variety of reasons. Unfortunately, serious injuries and death are often the results. Some of the many reasons for head-on collisions are the same reasons for all auto accidents and include drunk driving, drowsy driving, distracted driving, unsafe passing on two-lane roads, and speeding.
