Car Accidents in Utah
Each year in Utah, thousands of traffic accidents result in injuries. According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, early morning crashes are especially common due to low visibility, fatigue, and commuting traffic. Here in Utah, ongoing safety initiatives emphasize the importance of alert and defensive driving—especially during dawn hours.
Factors that commonly contribute to morning crashes include:
- Sun Glare: As the sun rises, low angles can blind drivers, obscuring road markings, vehicles, or pedestrians.
- Driver Fatigue: Many individuals begin driving shortly after waking up, which can affect alertness and reaction time.
- Rushed Commutes: Morning drivers may speed, follow too closely, or take risks to avoid being late for work—leading to collisions.
- Limited Traffic Awareness: Fewer cars on the road in the early hours can lead to a false sense of security and relaxed driving behavior.
