T-Bone Crashes in Tacoma WA
When the side of a vehicle is struck in a collision, many onboard auto safety devices do not work properly. This increases the chances of severe injuries. Statistics show that an estimated 18% of deadly accidents involve t-bone collisions, while making up less than 13% of reported auto accidents. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, roughly 8,000 people are killed annually in side-impact accidents.
