Side-impact collisions
Side-impact collisions — Side-impact collisions can cause grave injuries. Often called “T-bone” or “broadside” collisions, side-impact accidents occur when the side of a vehicle is hit. It can be impacted by the front or rear of another vehicle or in some cases a fixed object. Vehicle damage is often severe and drivers or passengers on the impacted side of the vehicle usually sustain far worse injuries than they would in another type of crash.
