Head-On Collision Statistics

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, wrong-way collisions account for just 3 percent of recent years’ crashes on highways; they are, however, much more likely to end in fatalities and critical injuries than any other form of crash.
The fatality rate is between 12-17 percent higher in accidents involving wrong-way collisions than in other types of accidents.
