Car Accidents in Utah
Each year, Utah sees tens of thousands of crashes that result in injuries, with many occurring in suburban areas like Lehi. These incidents can have lasting physical and financial impacts on those involved. Roads with higher speed limits or rural intersections can often be especially hazardous.
Vehicle defects are another contributing factor in some crashes. Here’s how mechanical failure or maintenance issues can play a dangerous role:
- Brake Failure: Faulty brakes can prevent a driver from stopping in time, especially at intersections or in heavy traffic. Worn pads or leaking brake fluid are common culprits.
- Tire Blowouts: Worn-out tires or those inflated improperly can lead to sudden blowouts, especially at high speeds. These incidents frequently cause the driver to lose control.
- Steering or Suspension Issues: Defects in a vehicle’s steering system can lead to drift, delayed response, or complete loss of directional control—particularly dangerous on curves or freeway ramps.
- Lighting or Signal Malfunctions: If brake lights or turn signals are out, other drivers may not be able to react appropriately, increasing the risk of rear-end or sideswipe collisions.
- Engine or Electrical Fires: In rare cases, electrical problems can trigger fires or shutdowns while driving, adding further danger and requiring immediate emergency response.
