An unidentified driver was killed this past Saturday evening around 6:00pm in a head-on crash on Plain Street in Marshfield. The driver who was killed was operating a sedan when it collided with a fuel truck on the roadway. There was reportedly extensive damage to the driver’s side area of the sedan. Officials reportedly took over 30 minutes in removing the trapped driver from the sedan. Police are continuing to investigate the accident and to search for exactly what happened that caused this tragic crash.
Causes of Head-On Collisions
According to the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, a head-on accident can result from a driver’s unintentional or intentional actions. For example, an intentional action would be a driver attempting to pass the car in front of him, only to make impact with an approaching car in the oncoming lane of traffic. An example of an unintentional action may be the driver falling asleep behind the wheel or becoming distracted by his or her cell phone ringing and then straying into the opposite lane of oncoming traffic. There may also be contributing factors present, such as alcohol or excessive speed. Most head-on crashes occur from the unintentional actions of a driver.
