Head-on Collisions
Severe Impact: Head On Collision Injuries
Impact
Due to the nature of the physics involved, head on collisions can be devastating. The combined force of two cars colliding while traveling towards one another is extreme.
Evidence Collection
In a head on collision, the damage to the vehicle can often be the most important evidence collected. There may be sensors that have collected information or data from the front of the vehicle. Also, the damage sustained to the front of the vehicle may tell the story of how the crash occurred.
Injuries
Head on collisions can cause catastrophic injuries and possibly death. Due to the severe force of impact, the driver and passengers are subject to extreme force inside of the vehicle. In these crashes the safety mechanisms inside of the cabin, such as airbags, are designed to prevent life threatening injuries.
