Head-On Collision Investigation is Underway

Local authorities are currently attempting to determine the factors that affected the accident through the official investigation.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration statistics, there were 3,304 fatal car accidents in California in 2017. Although head-on collisions only represent 2 percent of accidents, they account for 10 percent of fatalities on U.S. roadways.

Head-on collisions typically happen on a traffic light, stop sign, or blind intersections and on freeways. Distracted driving, speeding, or an illegal lane change are common factors of these types of accidents.

When facing cases like this, victims are advised to seek a skilled attorney to assist them in their claims. Attorneys have the resources that can help them prove the negligence of the liable party. They can utilize their resources to re-interview important witnesses, review relevant surveillance footage from the scene, and obtain phone and texting records of the responsible party.
