Head-On Collision Statistics

If you live in Los Angeles, you’re likely to be involved in a traffic collision. When commuting, you’re likely to encounter traffic jams on the 405, 101, 10, and 5, all of which present several potentials for rear-end and head-on collisions. In 2014, 639 people were killed in car accidents in Los Angeles County.

Unlike a side or rear-end collision, a head-on collision occurs when the front ends of two vehicles such as cars, trains, ships, or planes collide in opposite directions.

Head-on collisions are responsible for almost 10% of all fatal accidents in the US, even though they account for only about 123,000 incidents each year.

As a result of a head-on collision between two vehicles, those inside are more likely to be injured. The most common injuries in head-on collisions include spinal cord damage, brain damage, catastrophic injury, shattered bones, and paralysis, to name just a few.

The best method to avoid head-on collisions on rural roads is to stay vigilant and never take your attention away from the road.

Most car accidents are the result of human error. Speeding, being intoxicated, and operating a vehicle carelessly are just a few of the risky activities that drivers engage in.
