Head-On Collision Statistics

In a “head-on collision,” the front of one vehicle strikes the front of the other. On the most hazardous highways, head-on collisions have resulted in numerous fatalities and injuries.

Less than 10% of all fatalities in the US are caused by head-on collisions, which account for the majority of fatalities.

The most frequent accident occurs when a car crosses a centerline or median and hits another vehicle head-on. You run the risk of being in a collision if you are driving on the wrong side of the road.

Driving while intoxicated, passing on a two-lane road, making quick lane changes because of construction or backed-up traffic, among other factors, can result in head-on collisions. Road inadequacies, autonomic failures, and high speed/loss of control are all potential causes of head-on collisions.

The best thing you can do if you see a car coming at you head-on is to stay in the middle of your lane, honk, and immediately slow down. You are therefore less likely to sustain serious injuries or even pass away as a result of the collision.
