Head-On Collision Statistics

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 38,680 people died in motor vehicle traffic crashes in 2020, a 7.2 percent rise from the previous year despite the expectation of having fewer people on the road due to the coronavirus pandemic.

A head-on collision occurred in this case. Head-on collisions happen when the front ends of two or more vehicles collide. They are frequently more fatal because of the force of the collision when the vehicles collide.

Only 2% of car accidents are head-on collision, but they account for more than 10% of all fatalities on the roads.

Accidents like these can be caused by a variety of factors, including driver weariness and inattention.

You can slam on the brakes to prevent a head-on collision, even if that means the car behind you is going to hit you, as long as you can avoid the collision. The right side of the road, away from the shoulder, is a good option if you need to veer off the road. There is the risk for a collision with oncoming traffic if you swerve left.

Drivers who drive aggressively or recklessly endanger the lives of others. Others’ careless driving should not endanger innocent people. Reckless drivers should be held accountable for the harm they cause to others.
