According to data on frontal impacts published by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) in 2020, head-on motor vehicle crashes were responsible for 58% of vehicle occupant deaths. Male passengers and those under the age of 25 were the most common victims in these deadly accidents. When a crash results in serious injuries, it is never easy.
