T-Bone Crash Statistics

A T-Bone collision occurs when the careless driver of one vehicle collides with the side of another vehicle at a right angle, resulting in a severe and often high-speed broadside impact. Almost of T-Bone accidents happen at junctions.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), approximately 8,000 people are killed in T-bone collisions in the United States each year, with many thousands more suffering serious injuries.

A broadside collision is more lethal than a head-on collision or a rear-end collision. T-bone collisions account for more than half of all fatal car accidents.

T-bone crashes are common when the at-fault driver fails to yield or give way to other vehicles. Side-impact crashes at an intersection or a four-way stop, for example, are frequently caused by the at-fault driver’s refusal to follow traffic signals or stop signs.

Power outages, traffic light failures, and faulty stoplights can also play a role in a T-bone collision.
