New York City Head-On Collisions

Head-on collisions occur when the front end of one vehicle meets the front end of another vehicle, resulting in a very serious and dangerous car accident. Every year, head-on collisions account for approximately 14% of all US traffic deaths. These types of crashes fall under the same category as sideswipes and run-off-road crashes because all of these collisions are a result of one car leaving their lane and colliding with another object.

There are ways that a driver can avoid a serious and sometimes fatal head-on collision. Obeying posted traffic signals and warnings, abiding by road lanes, barriers and staying within the posted speed limits can all help avoid a head-on crash.

Cars are also equipped with particular zones on them called “crumple zones” that are designed to take the majority of the pressure from a collision and direct it away from the driver.

Some cars are even designed to have the engine drop in a major head-on collision. This drop prevents the engine from coming into the driver and prevents major injuries.
