Statistics are typically gathered on the direction of impact, or impacts. The most common collisions on the road where both parties are moving involve:
- frontal impacts (most common)
- side impacts
- rear impacts
- rollovers (most rare)
- In the USA rollovers have contributed to more than 10,000 deaths a year even though they only account for about 3 percent of all crashes.
Sometimes the vehicles in the collision can suffer more than one type of impact, such as during a shunt or high-speed spin.
