Common Car Crash Situations in Wisconsin Dells, WI
Car accidents are a frequent occurrence in Wisconsin Dells and can happen anywhere. Some of the most common types of crashes include rear-end collisions, where a vehicle crashes into the back of another, often occurring at intersections or when a driver is tailgating. Head-on collisions are tragic accidents where two vehicles collide frontally, usually due to illegal passing or drifting over the center line. Side-impact crashes, also known as T-bones, happen at intersections when one vehicle crashes into the side of another. Sideswipe accidents involve two vehicles traveling parallel to each other colliding, often happening when one is merging onto the highway with insufficient space. Rollovers can occur when a vehicle flips onto its side or hood, often triggered by gravel or potholes. Single-vehicle accidents involve one vehicle flipping or being forced off the road without colliding with another car, with many caused by another driver fleeing the scene.
