Car Accidents in Utah
Every year, thousands of people are hurt in car accidents across Utah. The Utah Department of Public Safety reported more than 26,000 injury-related crashes last year, many caused by reckless driving behaviors. Speeding, distraction, and failing to yield the right-of-way are leading causes of crashes across the state.
Understanding the risks of the road can help drivers take precautions. Below are some common reasons crashes occur:
- Distracted Driving – Using a phone, eating, or adjusting the radio can take a driver’s attention away from the road. Even a few seconds of distraction can result in a serious collision.
- Speeding – Driving over the posted limit reduces reaction time and increases the severity of crashes. Higher speeds make it more difficult to stop quickly and avoid hazards.
- Failure to Yield – Many accidents occur at intersections where drivers fail to yield the right-of-way. This can lead to dangerous T-bone collisions that cause severe injuries.
- Impaired Driving – Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol affects judgment and motor skills. Impaired drivers are more likely to cause head-on collisions and other deadly accidents.
- Adverse Weather Conditions – Rain, snow, and fog can make roads slippery and reduce visibility. Drivers must adjust their speed and following distance in poor weather to avoid crashes.
