Head-On Collisions in New York
Head-on crashes are among the most severe types of vehicle accidents, often leading to serious injuries or fatalities due to the force of impact. In New York, these types of collisions frequently occur on rural roads and two-lane highways where vehicles travel in opposite directions without median barriers.
Common causes of head-on crashes include distracted driving, speeding, failing to yield, and poor weather or road conditions. In some cases, drivers may drift into oncoming traffic due to fatigue or impairment.
To reduce the risk of head-on collisions, drivers should:
- Stay alert and avoid distractions while behind the wheel.
- Adhere to speed limits and adjust driving to road conditions.
- Never attempt to pass in no-passing zones or when visibility is limited.
- Be cautious on curves and at intersections where visibility may be obstructed.
