Head-On Collisions in Ohio
Head-on collisions are among the most severe types of motor vehicle accidents, often leading to critical injuries or fatalities. In Ohio, these accidents account for a significant percentage of roadway fatalities each year, particularly on urban roads and highways where speeds are higher.
Some of the most common causes of head-on crashes include:
- Distracted Driving – When a driver takes their attention off the road, they may drift into oncoming traffic, leading to catastrophic head-on collisions.
- Impaired Driving – Alcohol or drug use severely affects a driver’s ability to judge distances, maintain control, and stay within the correct lane, increasing the risk of a head-on impact.
- Drowsy Driving – Fatigue can cause drivers to lose focus, veer into opposing lanes, or fall asleep at the wheel, contributing to head-on crashes.
- Speeding – Higher speeds make it more difficult to react to road hazards, increasing the force of impact and the severity of injuries when a head-on collision occurs.
- Improper Passing – Attempting to overtake another vehicle on a two-lane road without sufficient visibility can lead to a devastating head-on crash.
