Head-On Collisions in New York
Head-on crashes, especially those resulting in rollovers, often lead to severe injuries due to the force of impact and potential vehicle ejections. Route 6, like many two-lane highways in New York, is prone to these types of crashes, often caused by:
- Lane departures and drifting into oncoming traffic
- Speeding or reckless passing maneuvers
- Driver fatigue or impairment
- Poor road or weather conditions
Victims of head-on collisions should seek immediate medical attention, file an official report, and consult with legal professionals to determine their rights for compensation regarding medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.
