Colisión frontal-lateral

English translation: Head-on and side impact collision

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Spanish term or phrase:Colisión frontal-lateral
English translation:Head-on and side impact collision

Social Sciences - Transport / Transportation / Shipping / Road safety report
Spanish term or phrase: Colisión frontal-lateral
From a road safety report from the Spanish Dirección General de Tráfico.

A table listing the different types of road traffic collisions (with my translations so far):

Colisión frontal -> head-on collisions
**Colisión frontal-lateral** -> ?
Colisión lateral -> side collisions
Colisión por alcance -> ?
Colisión múltiple -> multiple collisions
Colisión obstáculo calzada -> collisions with fixed roadside objects
Atropello -> collisions with pedestrians
Vuelco en calzada -> ?
Salida calzada izquierda -> Exit to the left
Salida calzada derecha -> Exit to the right

Can anyone help with a suitable term in English which fits?
Could colisión frontal-lateral just be called "angled collision" in English?

The other terms will be posted in separate questions for more points.

Many thanks.

Can't find the precise combination, but I think frontal-lateral, or frontal-and-lateral, would be OK. Must be a corner impact, I suppose.

agree  Taña Dalglish: Agree. Having worked for a while doing auto damage assessment, we often speak of head-on and side "impact" collision; but this is good. In fact, all answers are valid. Have a good week.
