A car crash in Linwood injured two people on August 2, 2018.

According to ABC-13 WBKO, this collision took place on North Jackson Highway close to Green River Bridge. Allegedly, one driver swerved across the center yellow line and hit a car in the opposing lane head-on.

First responders transported the injured drivers to local hospitals for treatment. Thankfully, both crash victims are expected to survive their injuries. Police are now investigating the cause of this accident.

Head-On Collisions

Head-on collisions only make up about 2 percent of total crashes per year in the USA. Although these crashes are rare, they are one of the most fatal types of accidents drivers could get involved in. Data from the US Government shows that head-on collisions usually account for 10 percent of fatal traffic accidents every year.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says head-on crashes are more likely to occur in rural areas. In their 2005 report, the NHTSA showed that 13 percent of rural fatal crashes were the result of head-on collisions. By contrast, head-on collisions accounted for 7 percent of fatal crashes in urban environments.

Head-on collisions often result in serious injuries or death, and are often caused by distracted drivers.
