What are the most common car accidents?
While the specifics of each car accident are unique, there are a handful of common types of accidents. Most common types of car accidents in PA include head-on collisions, side impact collisions, sideswipe crashes, and more. Most common types occur because drivers are going over the speed limit, aren’t paying attention, or generally aren’t following the rules of the road.
- Rear-End Collisions: The NHTSA reported that in 2018 there were more than 2 million rear-end collisions on American roads.
- Angle, Side, and T-Bone Collisions: Though these can occur anywhere, intersections are a particularly common location
- Sideswipe Car Accident: This can happen when two vehicles attempt to merge into the same lane, or when a merging vehicle overshoots it and scrapes the side of the vehicle in the lane next to them.
- Single Car Accidents with Stationary Objects: A single car accident and a stationary object is a particular common type of accident for teens or those who are new to driving. These can be particularly dangerous if the point of impact is head-on collisions.
