traffic collisions
Vehicles hitting each other
Traffic collisions are crashes involving vehicles on roads—cars hitting other cars, pedestrians, cyclists, or fixed objects.
The term is preferred by safety professionals over "traffic accidents," which implies unavoidability; collisions suggests preventable events with identifiable causes: Police investigated the traffic collision at the intersection.
