There is no collision more frightening, or more unexpected, than a head-on crash. In fact, head-on collisions are considered to be one of the most dangerous types of car crashes. Despite making up only about 2% of all collision types, they make up nearly 10% of all car crash fatalities. Head-on collisions may be difficult if not impossible to avoid, but understanding the most common causes of head-on collisions and how to minimize their impact may save your life.
