Most common accidents at intersections is the “T-bone” or broadside collision

One of the most common accidents at intersections is the “T-bone” or broadside collision. This type of accident occurs when one vehicle crashes into the side of another vehicle, typically at a right angle. T-bone accidents can be particularly dangerous, as they often occur at high speeds and can result in serious injuries or fatalities.

T-bone accidents can happen for a variety of reasons, including:

• Running a red light or stop sign
• Failing to yield the right of way
• Speeding
• Distracted driving, such as texting or talking on a cellphone
• Drunk or impaired driving
• Poor visibility due to weather or other factors

In addition to T-bone accidents, other common types of accidents at intersections include rear-end collisions, pedestrian accidents, and side-swipe collisions. These accidents can also result in serious injuries or fatalities, particularly if they occur at high speeds or involve larger vehicles such as trucks or buses.

To help prevent accidents at intersections, it’s important for drivers to pay close attention to traffic signals and signs, yield the right of way when necessary, and drive defensively to anticipate potential hazards. Additionally, cities and municipalities may implement traffic safety measures such as traffic cameras, increased police presence, and traffic calming measures to reduce the risk of accidents at intersections.
