Car Accidents in Utah
Every day, Utah drivers face the risk of being involved in collisions on city streets, highways, and residential roads. According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, thousands of crashes occur statewide each year, leaving families to cope with injuries, unexpected medical bills, and the stress of recovery. Many of these incidents happen late at night, when visibility is low and fatigue or impairment can play a role.
Knowing common causes of nighttime crashes may help you stay safer:
- Late-Night Driving: Driving late at night brings added risks due to low visibility and drowsy or impaired drivers on the road. Drivers should ensure headlights are working, stay alert for pedestrians, and take breaks if they feel tired.
- Driver Distraction: Checking your phone, eating, or adjusting in-car controls can take your focus away from the road. Even a moment of distraction can lead to a serious crash. Always stay focused and alert when behind the wheel.
- Speeding: Exceeding the speed limit, especially on city streets, reduces the time you have to react and increases the severity of a collision. Always obey posted speed limits and drive cautiously, especially late at night.
- Failure to Yield: Intersections are common sites for late-night crashes. Failing to yield or rolling through stop signs can quickly lead to dangerous collisions. Drivers should come to a complete stop and check carefully for cross traffic and pedestrians.
