Head-On Car Accidents In Buffalo, New York

A head-on collision, or a crash when two cars going in opposite directions collide, can result in serious injuries. Due to the high speeds of the vehicles, head-on collisions are often the most dangerous type of crash. Furthermore, the large amount of force each driver sustains contributes to the severity of head-on collisions. According to the New York State Department of Health, motor vehicle traffic crashes are the “leading cause of injury related death for New York State residents.”

Several circumstances may contribute to a head-on collision. For example,

1. Road and Weather Conditions: Harsh weather often effects driving. Fog, rain or snow can significantly impair the ability of drivers to control their vehicles. Obstacles in roadways can also cause head-on crashes. Such road conditions can result in accidents.
2. Distracted Driving: Cell phone usage while driving a car is a major distraction. Texting, calling and otherwise using a handheld device can result in a crash. Additionally, a driver can be distracted by tending to their personal hygiene, daydreaming or eating.
3. Driving Under the Influence: Driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol dramatically increases the probability of being in car accidents. The United States Department of Transportation reports that there was a drunk-driving car crash death every 48 minutes in 2017. Furthermore, more than 10,000 people die every year because of drunk-driving car crashes.
4. Driver Fatigue: When a driver is fatigued, car accidents are more likely to occur. Fatigue could be caused by many factors, such as: sleep deprivation, driving for extended periods of time and health conditions. Falling asleep while driving is extremely dangerous and accounts for many head-on collisions.

A head-on car crash often takes place when a driver maneuvers a vehicle across a centerline unintentionally and collides with an oncoming vehicle, a vehicle coming from the opposite direction.
