Drunk drivers crossing the center line, or sleep deprived drivers drifting over the center line. Also people who wish to commit suicide by sacrificing other drivers.
Many head-on collisions may occur on two lane roads while passing, when there is oncoming traffic.

In read end collisions the car is jolted forward, thus the head and neck and thrusted forward, damaging the musculature, tendons and ligaments. In a head on collision, the car is suddenly halted thrusting the head backwards against the headrest, which prevents over extension of the head and neck.
Head-on collisions are usually the most fatal ones.
In driving, a divider refers to a physical barrier or space that separates opposing lanes of traffic on a roadway. It can take the form of a concrete wall, guardrail, or landscaping, and is designed to enhance safety by preventing vehicles from crossing into oncoming traffic. Dividers are commonly found on highways and major roads to help reduce the risk of head-on collisions. Additionally, they may also serve to guide traffic and improve the overall flow on the road.
In a divided highway, the opposite directions of travel are typically segregated by a median or barrier that separates the lanes. This helps to prevent head-on collisions and improves overall safety for drivers traveling in both directions.
Unsafe passes can result in rear-end collisions, head-on collisions, side-swipe collisions, or collisions with fixed objects such as guardrails or trees. These collisions are often caused by sudden lane changes, improper spacing between vehicles, or misjudgment of oncoming traffic.

median
A divided highway is a road that has a barrier or median separating the lanes of traffic moving in opposite directions. This setup helps increase safety by preventing head-on collisions and controlling the flow of traffic. Drivers must typically use interchanges or designated turnarounds to change direction on a divided highway.
Head gasket failing The most common cause is a blown head gasket. Stop driving the car as severe engine damage will occur.
