Car Accidents in Utah
Utah experiences a significant number of vehicle crashes each year, with thousands of injuries reported. According to state data, more than 26,000 crashes resulted in injuries last year alone. Highways like I-84 often see increased accident risks due to high speeds and heavy traffic.
Drivers should remain aware of potential dangers on the road. Below are common highway crash causes:
- Rear-End Collisions – Following too closely at high speeds can make it difficult to stop in time. Rear-end crashes often result in whiplash, back injuries, and vehicle damage.
- Lane-Change Accidents – Failing to check blind spots or signal properly can lead to collisions with other vehicles. This is especially dangerous on highways where cars travel at higher speeds.
- Tire Blowouts – A sudden loss of tire pressure can cause a driver to lose control. Vehicles may swerve into other lanes or roll over, increasing the risk of severe injuries.
- Jackknife Accidents – Large trucks can jackknife when the trailer swings out of control, blocking multiple lanes. These crashes can be devastating and cause major traffic disruptions.
- Speeding – Driving above the speed limit reduces reaction time. High-speed crashes result in more severe injuries and can lead to fatalities.
