Single-vehicle collision

A single-vehicle collision is a type of traffic accident that involves only one vehicle. This means that the driver’s car, motorcycle, or truck is the only vehicle directly involved in the crash. These accidents often happen when a driver loses control and hits an object like a tree, guardrail, pole, or ditch. Common causes include speeding, distracted driving, slippery roads, fatigue, or driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Even though no other vehicles are part of the crash, single-vehicle collisions can still cause serious injuries or damage. Drivers can prevent these accidents by staying alert, avoiding distractions, and adjusting their speed to match road and weather conditions.
