Bicycle Accidents in Utah
Bicyclists face significant risks when traveling alongside motor vehicles in Utah. Each year, dozens of cyclists are seriously hurt or killed in crashes statewide. Data shows that distracted driving, speeding, and failure to yield are among the leading causes of bicycle-related collisions.
When bicycle accidents occur, they often lead to severe injuries due to the lack of protection cyclists have compared to drivers and passengers in motor vehicles. Here are some common types of injuries sustained in these incidents:
- Head Injuries: Traumatic brain injuries, concussions, and skull fractures can result from direct impacts to the head, even when wearing a helmet.
- Spinal Cord Damage: A sudden impact can cause damage to the spine, leading to partial or total paralysis.
- Fractures and Broken Bones: Cyclists frequently suffer fractures in the arms, legs, and collarbone due to the force of a collision.
- Internal Injuries:Internal bleeding and organ damage can occur when a cyclist is thrown from their bike or struck by a vehicle.
- Road Rash and Soft Tissue Injuries: Abrasions, deep lacerations, and ligament tears are common when cyclists make contact with the road surface.
