No-one wants to get into a car accident. But if you recently walked away from a collision without physical injuries, your next thought is likely how quickly you can get your vehicle to a local body shop. The guide below explores two common crash scenarios—head-on and rear-end impacts—and the likely damages associated with each.

Head-On

Head-on collisions at relatively slow speeds may do little more than dent the front bumper and shatter one or both headlights. As vehicle speed increases, so does the likely problems. Front wheel damage is a possibility, including bent rims, axle damage, and punctured tires. Severe accidents can cause crumpled hoods, faulty brake systems, radiator cooling system damage, and electrical system shorts.

Rear-End

Getting hit from behind is not as dangerous as a front-end crash, but it can cause considerable damage to your vehicle. In addition to a demolished bumper, a rear-end collision could throw your vehicle out of alignment, resulting in handling issues.
