Orem, UT (May 26, 2025) – Just after midnight on Sunday, May 25, a car crash was reported near 400 North 800 East Street in Orem. Emergency crews, including Orem Fire, responded swiftly to the scene around 12:23 a.m. The collision closed the area for roughly 26 minutes while first responders treated the wounded and cleared the roadway.
At least one person was hurt in the accident and received treatment on-site before being taken to a nearby hospital. The nature and severity of injuries have not been disclosed. Authorities have not confirmed the total number of vehicles involved. The roadway has since reopened, and traffic is moving normally. Investigators are still looking into what caused the crash.
We hope those injured in this accident recover quickly.
Car Accidents in Utah
Utah sees thousands of car accidents each year, many leading to serious or life-altering injuries. According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, distracted driving, speeding, and impaired driving remain leading contributors to roadway crashes across the state. Emergency services often respond within minutes, but even quick care can’t prevent lasting consequences for some victims. Accidents can happen on busy highways or quiet neighborhood streets with little warning.
One key element of car accident cases is understanding how injuries affect people long-term. Here are several common injuries that can happen in a crash:
- Whiplash: Whiplash often results from rear-end collisions. It can cause neck pain, stiffness, headaches, and even memory issues. Sometimes symptoms do not appear until days after the accident, making it vital to seek immediate care.
- Broken Bones: Fractures are a common result of side and head-on impacts. Victims may need surgery, casting, or physical therapy. These injuries can lead to lost income during recovery periods.
- Spinal Cord Injuries: Injuries to the spine can be life-altering. Some people experience partial or full paralysis, while others live with chronic pain. Recovery may include long-term rehabilitation or even assistive devices.
- Internal Injuries: Damage to internal organs may not show signs at first but can become critical fast. Common injuries include internal bleeding or ruptured organs, requiring emergency surgery.
- Head Trauma: Even with airbags, a person’s head may strike hard surfaces. This can lead to concussions, skull fractures, or traumatic brain injuries, all of which can affect cognitive and emotional function.
