rear-end collisions
Bumper-to-bumper impacts
A rear-end collision is a traffic accident in which one vehicle crashes into the back of another, typically when the front vehicle has stopped or slowed and the following vehicle fails to brake in time.
These are among the most common types of car accidents, often caused by tailgating, distracted driving, or sudden stops.
