Head-On Collision Crash Statistics

When two cars hit each other head-on while going in opposite directions, it is called a head-on collision.

Most head-on collisions happen in the United States only about 123,000 times a year, but they make up about 10% of all fatal accidents in the country.

A car accident can happen to anyone. This is a sad fact that all drivers should keep in mind, but it’s important to remember. There have been a lot of car accidents in California over the years. California is home to 11 percent of the people who die in car accidents in the rest of the country.

A report from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety says that California has the most car accidents and fatalities caused by traffic collisions and that the state has the most people killed in these accidents. Because California has a lot of people, there are a lot of cars on the road. This could lead to more accidents across the state.

People get into these accidents for many different reasons, like when they’re distracted or drunk or when they’re tired.
