All kinds of car accidents can result in injuries, but head-on collisions are more likely to result in life-threatening injuries due to the force of impact. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety found that head-on collisions had a nearly 58% fatality rate in 2017. An estimated 2% of reported car accidents involve head-on impacts each year. However, head-on crashes are involved in nearly 10% of fatal collisions reported annually.
