Understanding Head-On Collisions
Head-on collisions, while representing only 2% of all accidents, account for a disproportionate share of fatalities and serious injuries. These crashes occur when two vehicles traveling in opposite directions collide front-to-front. The combined impact speeds create tremendous forces that can cause severe spinal injuries, traumatic brain injury, internal organ damage, and multiple fractures. Survivors of head-on collisions typically require extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation. Early chiropractic intervention is critical for spinal injuries.
