Wrong-Way Collisions

Wrong-way collisions are the reason many people suffer injuries or end up killed. According to the FHWA, in the United States, WWD crashes result in 300 to 400 people killed each year on average, representing approximately 1 percent of the total number of traffic-related fatalities that occur annually. Although this is a small percentage, these crashes have the deadliest fatalities since they usually occur at high speeds.
