Vehicle crash where the side of one or more vehicles is impacted

A side collision is a vehicle crash where the side of one or more vehicles is impacted. These crashes typically occur at intersections, in parking lots, and when two vehicles pass on a multi lane roadway.

A 2016 study found that, in the EU, side impact collisions were significantly less common than frontal impact collisions, at rates of 22 29% and 61 69% respectively. However, they tend to be much more dangerous. Another report commissioned by the EU in 2015 found that side impacts accounted for roughly 35 40% of passenger fatality and serious injury, as opposed to 55% attributed to head on collisions. A likely contributor to this fact is the amount of protection offered by the struck vehicle. Even when equipped with the safest cars on the road, these casualties occurred at much lower speeds than in head on collisions, with passenger fatality and serious injury typically occurring at 50 km/h (~31 mph) in side impact collisions, as opposed to 70 km/h (~43 mph) for frontal impacts. For European motorcyclists, side impact is the second most frequent location of impact. In European vehicle side impact, 60% of casualties were "struck side", while 40% were "non struck side", in 2018. The head and neck are involved in around 64% of the casualties. where heavier vehicles have lower fatality rates than lighter vehicles. NHTSA and Euro NCAP also test the more severe vehicle into pole side impacts, where smaller vehicles have the same fatality rate as larger vehicles. Side airbags became mandatory in 2009 in the US, saving an estimated 1,000 lives per year. Research indicates that the vehicle's underbody is the best place to reinforce structures to reduce intrusion by the pole.

These are lists of cars with notable aspects of side impact.
