A device and method for mitigating a vehicle collision are disclosed. The device and method include monitoring for an object within a vehicle travel path that includes a heightened travel hazard level. Upon detecting the object within the vehicle travel path, a closing distance rate, relative to the object, is compared with a closing threshold. When the closing distance rate compares unfavorably with the closing threshold, a secondary vehicle travel path based on the closing distance rate is determined, producing a determined secondary vehicle travel path. A command data output is generated for transmission to autonomously engage the determined secondary vehicle travel path.
