An estimated 360 people each year are killed in wrong-way collisions on the nation’s highways, the National Transportation Safety Board said in a recent report. Some 60 percent of those crashes involve alcohol and nearly 80 percent occur between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. Wrong-way crashes on highways are relatively rare, but they are often fatal when they do occur because they usually involve head-on collisions, the agency noted.
