Car Accidents in Utah
Motorcycle crashes are among the most serious types of collisions on Utah roads. According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, motorcyclists account for a disproportionately high number of injuries and fatalities each year. Without the protection of a vehicle frame, riders are highly vulnerable to impact and injury—even in low-speed crashes.
Here are common factors that contribute to motorcycle crashes:
- Driver Inattention: Many accidents occur when drivers fail to see motorcyclists during lane changes or turns, especially in busy traffic zones.
- Unsafe Lane Changes: Motorcycles can be difficult to spot in a vehicle’s blind spot. Quick or un signaled lane changes often lead to sideswipe crashes.
- Following Too Closely: Drivers who tailgate motorcycles don’t leave enough space to react, which can result in rear-end collisions that eject the rider.
- Left Turn Collisions: One of the most common and dangerous scenarios occurs when a vehicle turns left in front of an oncoming motorcycle, misjudging its speed or distance.
- Poor Road Conditions: Potholes, gravel, or slick surfaces that might not affect a car can be dangerous or even deadly for a motorcyclist.
