A rare but lethal form of collision
While only 2% of all car and truck accidents are head-on collisions, they are the cause of approximately 10% of all motor vehicle fatalities each year. As compared to other types of accidents, head-on collisions are more likely to be caused by grossly negligent or reckless behavior by the at-fault driver. While these crashes are frequently attributable to a reckless driver, head-on collisions can also stem from negligence on behalf of the state, City of New York or other local government. Examples of this can include poor road design or maintenance, or a failure to provide adequate signage indicating oncoming traffic or a need to slow down for a curve in the road.
Common reasons for head-on collisions include:
- Driving while intoxicated or under the influence of drugs
- Driving while texting or making a phone call
- Driving at a recklessly-high speed
- Falling asleep at the wheel
- Aggressive driving and attempting to pass in a no-passing zone
