Car Accidents in Utah
In Utah, thousands of collisions take place each year, causing injuries, property damage, and in severe cases, loss of life. Many crashes stem from preventable factors such as speeding, distraction, or failure to yield. Being aware of the most frequent causes can help reduce the risk of accidents statewide.
- Distracted driving: Activities like texting, adjusting navigation, or eating while driving divert focus from the road, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Speeding: Driving too fast shortens reaction time and makes it harder to avoid hazards, while also increasing crash severity.
- Failure to yield: Not giving right-of-way at intersections or when merging can result in dangerous side-impact collisions.
- Following too closely: Tailgating leaves little time to react to sudden stops, making rear-end collisions more likely.
- Driving under the influence: Alcohol and drugs impair judgment, coordination, and decision-making, leading to a higher risk of serious crashes.
