According to the Florida Highway Patrol, the wrong-way driver was driving a 2017 Subaru Forester north in the southbound lanes of I-275 near mile marker 26.5. It was around 3:15 a.m., Friday, March 22, 2019, when she struck a 2013 Buick Verano.<\/p>\n<p>Right after the collision, the Subaru burst into flames, but the driver escaped in time.

The head-on collision accounts for only 2% of all accidents in a year. Yet, they account for 10 percent of all fatalities. They are also responsible for some of the most traumatic injuries of all crash types.<\/p>\n<h2>Head-On Collision Injuries<\/h2>\n<p>The reason a head-on collision is so dangerous is because the impact is comprised of the speed and weight of both vehicles coming to a dead stop simultaneously. This throws the occupants of the car around. Thrusting them forward, backward and side to side inside of the vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>Also, head-on collisions severely damage the vehicles. Cushing the passenger compartments leaving little room for those inside. Because of these dynamics, there are injuries common to a head-on collision:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Blunt Force Trauma<\/strong>: The vast majority of fatalities come from the impact of the person into whatever is in front of them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Traumatic Brain Injury<\/strong>: Not always fatal and happens with the impact of the body at the time of collision.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Thoracic Spine Injury<\/strong>: (Whiplash) This injury is not necessarily fatal, but it often results in paralysis. It comes from the collision throwing the body forward, stretching the spine and the neck, and then violently compressing when thrown back into the seat.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Broken Bones:<\/strong> Skull fractures, facial bones, ribs and extremities such as wrists, ankles legs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Do I need an Attorney if I\u2019m injured in a Head-On Collision?<\/h2>\n<p>Before you speak to anyone from an insurance company, it\u2019s best to talk to an experienced <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.rhinolawyers.com\/es\/practice-areas\/florida-car-accident-lawyers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">auto accident attorney<\/a> who knows the law and is experienced in personal injury claims and head-on collision.
