Car Accidents in Utah
Interstate crashes are among the most severe types of collisions in Utah. High speeds and heavy traffic volumes often lead to chain-reaction incidents that can cause serious injuries. According to state crash data, Utah freeways like I-84 account for a significant percentage of high-impact accidents, especially in regions like Morgan County where road curves and weather can quickly become hazardous.
One important area of concern in these types of crashes is how injury severity varies depending on the nature of the collision. Here’s what to know:
- Rear-End Collisions at High Speed: When traveling on a freeway, rear-end crashes often result in more than just whiplash. The force of impact can cause spinal injuries, head trauma, or even fractures, especially if seat restraints fail or airbags do not deploy properly.
- Rollovers and Ejections: Rollover accidents are more common in SUV or pickup truck crashes on highways. These are extremely dangerous, with a high risk of ejection if seat belts aren’t worn. Victims often suffer traumatic brain injuries, broken bones, or internal bleeding.
- Side-Impact or T-Bone Collisions: These crashes typically occur during lane changes or when a driver loses control and crosses into another lane. Injuries may include broken ribs, shoulder damage, and neck injuries—particularly on the side of the impact.
- Multi-Car Pileups: Chain-reaction crashes involving three or more vehicles increase the chances of secondary impacts. Even if you weren’t hit first, your vehicle may be pushed or struck again, leading to complicated injuries and liability questions.
- Debris-Related Injuries: In larger accidents, flying debris from shattered glass, twisted metal, or unsecured cargo can cause lacerations or blunt force trauma. These secondary injuries are often overlooked initially but can become serious if untreated.
