Car Accidents in Utah
According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, intersection collisions are among the most frequent types of roadway accidents in the state, often resulting in significant injuries. These crashes can occur for a variety of reasons, many of which are preventable.
- Failure to yield: Disregarding right-of-way rules at intersections can result in dangerous side-impact crashes.
- Red-light running: Entering an intersection against a traffic signal is a common cause of serious accidents.
- Distracted driving: Inattention, such as texting or adjusting controls, can lead to missed traffic cues.
- Speeding: Entering intersections too quickly reduces the driver’s ability to respond to sudden hazards.
- Improper turns: Making turns from the wrong lane or without signaling can lead to collisions.
