head-on crashes
A head-on crash occurs when the front ends of two vehicles collide directly with each other. This type of accident is often severe due to the combined speed of both vehicles at the moment of impact. Head-on crashes frequently happen on two-lane roads where vehicles may cross into oncoming traffic, often resulting in significant injuries or fatalities.
Factors contributing to head-on crashes include driver distraction, speeding, and impaired driving. Safety measures, such as wearing seat belts and using airbags, can help reduce the severity of injuries. Additionally, road design improvements, like barriers and better signage, aim to minimize the risk of these dangerous collisions.
