In 2005, there were almost 6,420,000 car crashes in the U.S. A head on accident happens when the front end of two cars or any two vehicles hit each other. These sorts of accidents happen most commonly at intersections and on freeways. Freeway head on crashes can be the result of drivers going the wrong way on on-ramps or off-ramps, or veering across highway medians. Freeway head on collisions are particularly dangerous as a result of the high speed these roads allow. Head on crashes at intersections can occur when drivers run or otherwise disobey traffic laws and signals, such as red lights, stop signs or yield signs. Head on crashes resulting from running red lights are also at high risk for being more dangerous due to high speeds.
More than 100 people die every day in the U.S. from motor vehicle accidents. Higher speed crashes are nearly always more dangerous than head on accidents that occur at lower speeds. Injuries sustained from head on collisions can include:
- Brain Injury
- Head Injury
- Spinal Cord Injury, including Paralysis
- Broken Bones
- Whiplash
- Burns
- Lacerations
- Death
