A broadside collision, often called a T-bone accident, is when the front of one vehicle slams into the side of another. These accidents can be incredibly dangerous because the side of a car offers less protection than the front or rear, leading to a higher risk of serious injury.
So, where do broadside collisions most commonly occur? The answer is intersections. Intersections are particularly risky, but we’ll get into why in a bit.
This article will dive into the reasons why intersections and other specific locations are prone to broadside collisions, the factors that contribute to these accidents, and what steps you can take to help prevent them. We’ll also explore the data and statistics to understand the scope of this problem.
