Head-on crashes often result in life-threatening injuries. While rare, head-on crashes are responsible for nearly 10 percent of all roadway fatalities. These crashes can be catastrophic, even at low speeds.

When two vehicles collide head-on, the force of the impact is more than enough to cause fatal injuries.
