Car Accidents in Utah
Utah’s roads see a high volume of accidents each year, many of which lead to serious injury or prolonged recovery. According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, early morning crashes—often occurring during work commutes—are particularly common in urban areas. Here in Utah, local agencies continue working toward safer intersections and heightened driver awareness.
Understanding what often leads to injury-causing crashes helps improve prevention. Here’s a closer look at one of those factors:
- Failure to Signal: Many drivers fail to use turn signals properly, which increases the likelihood of side-impact collisions or rear-end crashes—especially at intersections.
- Left Turns Across Traffic: These are among the riskiest driving maneuvers. Misjudging the speed or distance of oncoming traffic can result in high-impact collisions.
- Improper Yielding at Stop Signs: Failing to fully stop or assess all directions before proceeding creates confusion and raises crash risk at intersections.
- Speeding Through Intersections: Drivers who accelerate to “beat the light” often fail to notice other vehicles or pedestrians already crossing.
