A head-on collision occurs when two vehicles traveling in opposite directions strike each other. This type of accident is especially dangerous since the force and impact that the occupants of the vehicles are subjected to are based on the combined speed of both vehicles.
Even with safety features such as crumple zones, airbags, side beams, and roll cages, vehicles involved in head-on collisions may be totaled, and drivers and passengers can sustain serious and life-altering injuries and even death in such accidents. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) reports that over 50% of car, pickup, and SUV occupants who were killed in road accidents in 2018 were killed in frontal crashes.
