An active investigation is underway.

Head-on collisions are without a doubt the most dangerous types of crashes. They may only account for 2% of accidents, however they make up 10% of all deadly crashes. 

The Fatal Analysis Reporting System (FARS) has found that: 

• 75% of head-on crashes happen in rural areas
• They are most common on two-lane highways
• Failure in negotiating a curve on the road causes 23% of all fatal head-on collisions
• 58% of head-on collisions result in a fatality

If your injuries are caused by the negligence of a third party you may be entitled to compensation. In the event of a death, families may also be entitled to wrongful death benefits.
