T-bone collisions go by other names as well, including broadside collisions and side-impact collisions. They are common car accidents with a high rate of catastrophic injuries, as one car rams into another’s side, usually in an intersection. The car that is struck absorbs most of the force. Side panel protection may include “crumple zones,” which absorb some impact.
Depending on the point of collision, the cab of the car is often violated, and passengers in the struck car occupy the same space as the oncoming car. Resulting injuries include amputations, crushed bones, disfiguring lacerations, spinal cord injuries, brain damage and more. Despite the growing use of side airbags, many side-impact collisions cause fatalities.
