You may also hear it called a head on car accident, a head on car crash, a frontal collision, or a wrong way crash.<\/p>\r\n        <p style=\"color:var(--muted);font-size:1.05rem;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 1.1rem\">These crashes are especially dangerous because each vehicle is moving toward the other at the moment of impact. A vehicle traveling 50 miles an hour and another vehicle traveling 50 miles an hour have a combined closing speed of 100 miles an hour.<\/p>\r\n        <p style=\"border-left:3px solid var(--gold);background:rgba(243,185,55,.06);padding:1rem 1.2rem;border-radius:var(--r);color:var(--muted);font-size:1rem;line-height:1.65;margin:0 0 1.1rem\">That does not mean either vehicle experienced a 100 mile an hour wall impact. In a roughly equal head on crash, each vehicle&#8217;s impact is more comparable to striking a rigid barrier at its own speed.<\/p>\r\n        <p style=\"color:var(--muted);font-size:1.05rem;line-height:1.7;margin:0\">The legal investigation usually begins with one question: where was each vehicle when the collision occurred?

Texas law generally requires drivers to stay on the right half of the roadway when there is enough room to do so, under Section 545.051 of the Texas Transportation Code.<\/p>\r\n        <p>That rule has limited exceptions. For example, a driver may sometimes move left to pass another vehicle or avoid an obstruction. But an exception does not automatically excuse the crash. The driver still must have had a legal reason to enter the opposing lane, and must have done so safely.<\/p>\r\n        <p>If the other driver claims they were passing, we examine the road layout, sight distance, markings, vehicle data, debris, damage patterns, and available video to determine whether passing was lawful and could have been completed safely.<\/p>\r\n        <p>So we do not stop at which vehicle was on the wrong side. We look at whether an exception was available at all, and whether the driver met the conditions required for that exception.
