Car Accidents in Utah
In Utah, motor vehicle accidents are a daily occurrence, with thousands of crashes reported each year. Many of these incidents could be prevented with safer driving habits and heightened awareness. Below are several common causes of roadway collisions that continue to impact drivers statewide.
- Distracted driving: Using a phone, adjusting controls, or engaging with passengers can divert attention from the road.
- Speeding: Excessive speed limits reaction time and increases the force of impact in a crash.
- Failure to yield: Ignoring right-of-way rules is a leading cause of intersection-related accidents.
- Following too closely: Tailgating shortens stopping distance and raises the risk of rear-end collisions.
- Driving under the influence: Alcohol and drugs impair key skills necessary for safe driving, making accidents more likely.
