Car Accidents in Utah
Across the state of Utah, motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of injury, affecting thousands each year. In cities like Lehi, even a brief moment of inattention can have serious consequences. According to data from Utah’s Department of Public Safety, most injury-related crashes happen on local roads, where speed limits may be lower, but drivers let their guard down.
Let’s explore some safety concerns unique to intersections, where many crashes occur:
- Running Red Lights or Stop Signs: One of the top causes of intersection crashes is failure to stop. Drivers who attempt to beat a red light or miss a stop sign can collide with cross-traffic or pedestrians, often resulting in severe injuries.
- Improper Left Turns: Turning left without yielding to oncoming traffic is a frequent cause of side-impact collisions. These crashes often result in injuries to passengers seated on the side of the impact and are common at busy intersections without designated turn signals.
- Blocked Visibility: Parked vehicles, foliage, or poor street design can limit a driver’s line of sight at intersections. When visibility is low, drivers may pull out too early or fail to see other vehicles approaching, leading to preventable collisions.
- Distracted Driving at Intersections: Many drivers glance at their phones or adjust their radio when they reach a stop. That brief distraction can delay reaction times or cause a missed signal change, leading to rear-end or side-swipe crashes.
- Failure to Yield to Pedestrians or Cyclists: In walkable areas, drivers sometimes overlook those crossing legally. Intersections are shared spaces, and failing to yield can lead to tragic outcomes, especially when visibility is low or sidewalks are crowded.
