Car Accidents in Utah
Thousands of motor vehicle crashes occur in Utah each year, with many resulting in injuries. The Utah Department of Public Safety reported over 26,000 injury-related crashes last year. Intersections, like 500 North and State Street, are frequent locations for collisions due to stop-and-go traffic, turning vehicles, and right-of-way confusion.
Recognizing common risks at intersections can help prevent crashes. Below are some frequent causes of intersection accidents:
- Failure to Yield – Many drivers misjudge when to yield to oncoming traffic, especially while making left turns. This can result in T-bone collisions, which often lead to severe injuries.
- Running Red Lights or Stop Signs – Drivers who ignore traffic signals or signs put themselves and others at serious risk. These crashes can be especially dangerous at high speeds.
- Distracted Driving – Taking your eyes off the road for even a few seconds increases the risk of missing traffic signals or stopped vehicles ahead. Intersection distractions often lead to rear-end crashes.
- Speeding – Drivers going too fast through intersections have less time to react. High-speed crashes often result in severe injuries or fatalities.
- Pedestrian and Cyclist Collisions – Many intersections see pedestrian and cyclist traffic. Drivers failing to check crosswalks or bike lanes can cause serious accidents.
