Causes of Head-On Collisions
A head-on collision is often caused by one of the following deadly driving behaviors:
- Distracted driving: A driver may be texting, engaged in conversation on a cell phone or with a passenger, or not paying attention to the road ahead, causing a collision with oncoming traffic.
- Wrong-way driving: A drunk or confused driver may be operating a vehicle on the wrong side of the street or highway.
- Drunk driving: Alcohol intoxication leads to poor judgment, bad decision-making, and reduced cognitive ability. A drunk driver may swerve out of lanes, colliding with an innocent driver in the oncoming lane.
- Driving too fast for road conditions: In Tacoma, wet, icy, or snowy roadways can lead to treacherous driving conditions, with a driver unable to control a vehicle and entering the oncoming lane of traffic.
- Mechanical failures: Tire blowouts or faulty brakes can make a vehicle impossible to control, causing a head-on collision.
- Reckless driving: A driver may pass unsafely, speeding around another vehicle while lacking enough roadway, causing a head-on collision.
