Police are still investigating the cause of this crash.

The Dangers Of Head-On Collisions

Although head-on collisions are rare, they are amongst the most fatal accidents a motorist can be involved in. Even if you’re lucky to survive a head-on collision, it’s likely you’ll suffer a traumatic injury.

Statistics show about 80 percent of head-on collisions happen during the daytime when there is no inclement weather. Road safety experts say this is the case because drivers are more likely to be distracted and/or speed in sunny conditions.

Research into head-on collisions found that about 30 percent of head-on collisions were caused by drivers speeding around curves. A whopping 63 percent of head-on crashes, however, were caused while drivers were headed straight. Distracted driving, DUI, and driver’s fatigue all increase the odds of a head-on collision.
