Head-On Collision Statistics

Head-on accidents can lead to severe injuries. Many of these injuries are permanent, and permanent injuries can lead to a lifetime of pain and suffering.

Head-on collisions are more fatal and dangerous than other traffic collisions because the force is significantly higher. The force of the collision determines the severity of injuries that victims will suffer in an auto accident.

Although head-on collisions only represent 2 percent of accidents, they account for 10 percent of fatalities on U.S. roadways. Head-on collisions mainly occur when drivers are distracted or are experiencing over-fatigue.

The injuries sustained from a head-on collision that can be survived can still be severe. Hence, victims of a head-on collision are also more likely to have permanent brain damage, amputations, or disabilities.
