Head-On Collisions in California

Studies show that the two most common causes of head-on crashes are distracted driving and driving under the influence. When drivers are distracted, they may not see another driver veer into their lane, or they may accidentally veer into the other driver’s lane, especially if their hands are also not on the wheel. It’s not uncommon for drivers to accidentally drift into opposite lanes after drinking too much alcohol. However, when drivers do this, they risk potentially losing their lives or taking the lives of others.
