Bicyclists remain among the most vulnerable users of Utah’s roads. Even at lower speeds, a collision with a vehicle can lead to severe injuries, including broken bones, head trauma, spinal injuries, and internal damage. Late night crashes often carry added risks due to reduced visibility and the potential for impaired or distracted driving.
Recovering from such incidents can be a long and costly process, involving hospitalization, surgeries, physical therapy, and extended time away from work. Emotional trauma is also common, with victims experiencing anxiety or fear about returning to the road.
