Car Accidents in Utah
In Utah, thousands of traffic collisions occur annually, resulting in significant injuries and property damage. While each incident is unique, many share common contributing factors. Below are several leading causes of roadway crashes in the state.
- Distracted driving: Actions like texting, adjusting music, or interacting with passengers can take attention off the road.
- Speeding: Driving above the speed limit reduces reaction times and increases the severity of impacts.
- Driving under the influence: Alcohol and drugs impair judgment, motor skills, and reaction times, making collisions more likely.
- Failure to yield: Disregarding right-of-way rules can result in dangerous side-impact or head-on collisions.
- Following too closely: Tailgating increases the risk of rear-end accidents, especially in sudden-stop situations.
