Car Accidents in Utah
Car crashes happen frequently in Utah, often leading to injuries, financial burdens, and lengthy recovery periods. In 2023, the state recorded thousands of collisions, with a significant number occurring on highways like I-84. These accidents can stem from various factors, many of which are preventable.
Here are some key reasons crashes occur in Utah:
- Driver Inattention – Failing to focus on the road due to distractions like cell phones or adjusting in-car settings can lead to collisions. Even a moment of inattention can have serious consequences.
- Impaired Driving – Alcohol or drug use affects reaction times, decision-making, and coordination, making impaired driving a leading cause of serious accidents in Utah.
- Reckless Lane Changes – Merging without checking blind spots or signaling can result in sideswipe or rear-end crashes, especially on highways.
- Failure to Yield – Disregarding right-of-way rules at intersections, stop signs, or merging lanes can lead to dangerous T-bone or side-impact accidents.
- Poor Road Conditions – Uneven pavement, potholes, or debris can cause drivers to lose control, increasing the risk of accidents, especially at high speeds.
