What a T-bone (side-impact) crash is<\/h2>\n

A T-bone crash is a side-impact collision where one vehicle’s front or rear hits the side of another. People also call these broadside crashes or angle collisions.<\/p>\n

The side of a vehicle has less space between the outside and the people inside. That is why side impacts can cause serious harm to the person sitting closest to the point of impact.<\/p>\n

These crashes often happen at intersections and during turns. The red-light running research<\/a> from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety links red-light violations to right-angle, or T-bone, crashes.<\/p>\n

Side-impact crashes happen on Jonesboro and Clayton County roads. They also happen on roads in Atlanta, Decatur, Macon and Augusta. This page covers both car and truck side impacts.
