Spanish term

Colisión frontal-lateral

Spanish to English Social Sciences Transport / Transportation / Shipping Road safety report
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.

Head-on and side collision

Both at once, I think, using the terminology you have used elsewhere.

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.

Frontal-lateral collision

The literal "lateral" is OK in English.

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 Bubo Coroman (X) : Hi, long time no see or hear! Hope you are well Jack. Good to catch up with you again. Do you remember me from A.E. Technical Translation Services, that was trading up to about 6 years ago?

Thank you. Hi, yes, I remember your name anyway. Spanish is mnot one of my working languages so I don't often appear in this pair. Best wishes anyway.
agree Xenia Wong : When in doubt, best to use the exact words in this case.
