What is a Head-on Collision?
A Head-on collision is a colloquial name for an automobile crash where two vehicles strike each other squarely or nearly squarely front bumper-to-bumper.  This type of collision is distinguished from other types of collisions because the deceleration forces involved in a head-on collision of medium to high speed can be extremely great, often resulting in serious traumatic injury or death to the vehicle occupants.
