Pedestrian Accidents in Utah
Pedestrian accidents continue to be a serious issue across Utah. According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, hundreds of pedestrians are injured in collisions with vehicles each year—many occurring at intersections and crosswalks. Cities like Millcreek, with a mix of vehicle and foot traffic, are particularly vulnerable.
Here are some common causes and consequences of pedestrian accidents:
- Failure to Yield: Many pedestrian crashes happen when drivers fail to yield at crosswalks or during turns. Even in areas with signage, drivers may overlook people crossing the street.
- Speeding Near Intersections: Vehicles traveling too fast near intersections may not have enough time to stop, increasing the risk of hitting pedestrians, especially if visibility is low.
- Distracted Driving: When drivers are looking at their phones, adjusting the radio, or otherwise distracted, they’re more likely to miss a pedestrian until it’s too late to avoid a collision.
- Severe Physical Injuries: Pedestrians have no protection during impact, which often leads to serious injuries such as broken bones, head trauma, or internal bleeding that require extensive medical care.
- Long-Term Recovery: Beyond immediate hospital care, victims may need physical therapy, follow-up surgeries, or mental health support to recover from the physical and emotional toll of being struck.
