Head-On Collisions in Wisconsin
Head-on collisions are among the most severe types of traffic accidents, often leading to serious injuries or fatalities.

Factors such as distracted driving, speeding, and poor visibility are frequent contributors.
Airbag deployment, as seen in this crash, underscores the potential intensity of head-on impacts. Individuals involved in such accidents are urged to seek immediate medical attention, even if injuries are not apparent initially, to rule out hidden trauma.
Local authorities continue to encourage safe driving practices, particularly at intersections like Summit Ave and Silver Lake St, to minimize the likelihood of collisions.
