Head-on Accident Statistics

All car accidents are potentially dangerous and can result in serious injury or death. However, head-on crashes are more deadly than other types of collisions. This is because the force of a collision is twice as great when two cars crash head-on. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Institute (NHTSA), there were 2.8 million crashes in 2019.

Head-on accidents are often caused by driver error, such as distracted driving or driving under the influence. Head-on collisions can also be caused by hazardous road conditions, such as debris on the road or a sudden change in weather.

Regardless of the cause, head-on collisions typically result in significant damage to both vehicles and serious injuries to the occupants. In a head-on collision, it is important to stay calm and call 911 immediately. You stand a much better chance of recovering from your injuries with immediate medical attention.
