4
Head-on collisions

• Head-on collisions are often fatal.
• They occur when the front ends of two vehicles
  hit each other.
• The typical cause of head-on collisions is when a
  vehicle inadvertently comes in the path of
  another vehicle.
• This often occurs on roads with no separate lanes
  marked for opposite directions.

5
Single-vehicle collisions

• This type of accident occurs when a single
  vehicle on the road has a collision without
  involving any other vehicle.
• The reason for this type of accident is speeding
  and careless driving.
• At times the reason could be an obstacle on the
  road, such as a pole, tree branches or debris. In
  some cases they may involve pedestrians and other
  innocent bystanders.

6
Read-end collisions

• Rear-ending may happen when one vehicle is
  standing still and a moving vehicle hits it from
  behind.
• It can also be caused by sudden deceleration
  (slowing down or braking) by the first car, or
  when the following car accelerates more rapidly
  than the vehicle in front of it. An exception is
  when the impacted vehicle is in reverse gear.
• This is very common at traffic lights or near
  stop signs.

7
Pedestrian involved accidents

• A pedestrian is involved in an accident when they
  are trying to cross the road, and an oncoming
  vehicle hits them.
• Children and elderly people are common victims of
  this type of accident.

8
Collision due to distracted driver

• Many accidents occur due to complete negligence
  of the driver.
• Cell phones and other communication device are
  often distracting. Passengers can be the cause of
  the distraction as well.

9
Collisions due to blind spots

• Blind spots happen when a driver is not able to
  see if another vehicle is coming.
• This can happen while backing out of a parking
  space or while changing lanes. This can also
  happen on hilly regions where you have blind
  turns with narrow roads.

10
Collisions involving multiple vehicles

• Multiple vehicle collisions are sometimes
  referred to as "pile-ups" and often occur on busy
  roads such as highways and freeways.
• Such accidents occur when there is bad weather
  and it becomes difficult to control the vehicles.

11
Side-impact collisions

• Side-impact collisions, also called a "T-bone"
  collision, or "broadsided," occur when the side
  of a vehicle is impacted by the front or rear of
  another vehicle or a fixed object.

12
Vehicle rollover

• A rollover occurs when a vehicle literally flips
  over onto its side or roof.
• Vehicle rollover accidents are dangerous and are
  often caused by a sharp turn at high speed.
• Cars with a high center of gravity, such as a
  sport utility vehicle (SUV), is prone to this
  type of accident.

13
Sideswipe collisions

• Sideswipe collisions are typically when the sides
  of two parallel cars touch and "swipe" each
  other.
• If both motor vehicles are traveling in the same
  direction and neither driver loses control, then
  the vehicles may suffer only cosmetic damage.
