A head-on collision in El Sereno killed one motorist and injured another the other night.
According to the LAPD’s Central Traffic Division, the 2-vehicle crash happened on Eastern Avenue, 100 yards north of Klamath Place and just south of Huntington Drive.
The police did not specify the details of the car accident so we do not know the cause of the crash.
What we do know is that one of the drivers involved died at the scene while the other sustained minor abrasions and was brought to a nearby hospital.
The important information that needs to be figured out is who between the 2 drivers drifted to the other’s lane.
With modern traffic implementing the two-direction system (southbound and northbound, westbound and eastbound) the occurrence of head-on collisions has been greatly decreased.
However because of reckless and impatient drivers, this type of accident still occurs.
According to studies, the impact of a head on collision between two cars moving at 50 mph is approximately equal to the impact of a car hitting a wall at 100 mph.
That is how dangerous it is.
Whoever drifted to the lane of the other driver can be charged both civilly and criminally.
So even if you are stuck in traffic, resist the temptation of going to the other lane.
