Learning about the common types of car accidents can help you better understand how to avoid them. Start learning now by reading this slideshare!

1. Either you’ve seen these types of accidents or you’ve
experienced them first hand.

2. 1. Sideswipe collisions
 A sideswipe collision happens when the
sides of two parallel cars bump and
swipe each other.
 Minor damage is possible if both cars
are travelling in the same direction and
neither driver loses control.

3. 2. Rear-end collisions
 A car accident that involves one car
crashing into the car in front it is a rear-
end collision. Sudden deceleration is a
common cause of such collisions.

4. 3. Head-on collisions
 Head-on collisions occur when the front
ends of two cars hit each other. Sadly,
these types of collisions are often fatal.

5. 4. Single car accidents
 These accidents happen when only one
car is involved, and it strikes a pole,
tree, fire hydrant, or other object.

6. 5. Vehicle rollover
 When a car flips over onto its side or
roof, it’s called a vehicle rollover.
Speeding SUVs are more susceptible to
these types of accidents.

7. 6. Multi-vehicle collisions
 This type of accident involves many cars
that crash into each and form pile-ups
that are difficult to escape from. It
usually occurs on highways or freeways.

8. 7. Side-impact collisions
 Side-impact collisions are also known as
T-bone collisions. They happen when the
side of a car is hit by the front or rear of
another car. Damage and injury tend to be
severe in this type of crash.

9. Be a Smart, Defensive
Driver
 Remember that if you’re a distracted
driver, you’re posing a threat to other
drivers around you.
 Put your cell phone away and be
cautious. Slow down for yellow lights
and use your signals. Don’t be the
cause of an accident that could have
been prevented.
