Car Accidents in Utah
Crashes on city roads like Pleasant Grove Boulevard are all too common across Utah. With heavy lunchtime traffic, distracted driving, and frequent turning vehicles, midday accidents are reported frequently. The Utah Department of Public Safety tracks thousands of injury-related incidents each year—many of them preventable with safer habits behind the wheel.
To reduce your risk and understand what happens after a crash, here are common causes of urban accidents:
- Distracted Driving: Texting, using navigation apps, or even adjusting the radio can take your focus off the road for just long enough to cause a crash.
- Following Too Closely: Tailgating is a leading factor in rear-end collisions. A safe following distance gives you enough time to react if the driver ahead brakes suddenly.
- Improper Turns: Failing to use signals, misjudging the speed of oncoming cars, or turning across multiple lanes contributes to many side-impact collisions.
- Failure to Yield: Urban roadways are filled with intersections, pedestrian crossings, and merge lanes. Not yielding when required increases the chance of accidents.
- Weather-Related Conditions: Even light rain or glare from the midday sun can affect visibility and traction, raising the chances of a crash.
