Head-On Collision Statistics

It’s becoming more and more regular to see traffic accidents in San Diego. Car accidents in San Diego County increased by 5% in 2016 compared to the previous year, with 21,534 incidents.

When the front ends of two vehicles collide, that is what is known as a “head-on collision.” Most of these accidents occur in intersections with traffic lights, stop signs or blind corners; they are also common on freeways.

Sadly, head-on collisions don’t always end in a happy ending. Even though head-on collisions account for only 2% of all incidents, they are responsible for 10% of all fatalities on US roads.
