Wrong-Way Accidents – Why They Happen In California

Wrong-way accidents create between 300 and 400 roadway deaths each year. Wrong-way driving is when a driver who manoeuvers their vehicle in the opposite direction of travel on a freeway or street and hits a vehicle that is moving the right direction.

Wrong-way accidents can be uncommon – only making up about 3 percent of all car accidents, they are the leading kind of accident to result in fatality. Some 360 deaths in the U.S. each year are due to wrong-way driving accidents. The fatality rate falls between 12 and 27 percent higher than all other types of incidents.

Wrong-way driving collisions are often head-on, which is extremely dangerous for motorists and passengers. Common injuries from wrong-way driving accidents include broken bones, whiplash, head injuries, spinal cord injuries, chest, abdomen, and rib injuries, brain injuries, and even paralysis.
