What is a "T-bone accident"?
A T-bone accident occurs when one vehicle crashes into the side of another, forming a "T" shape at the point of impact. This type of collision often happens at intersections when one driver fails to stop at a traffic signal or stop sign and enters the path of another vehicle. The vehicle being hit usually has its side struck, which can cause significant damage to the door and may injure the people inside. T-bone accidents can be particularly dangerous because the side of a vehicle does not have the same protection as the front or back, increasing the risk of serious injury.
Example
Police arrived quickly after the T-bone accident happened.
The drivers were okay, but their cars were damaged in the T-bone accident.
