Car Accidents in Utah
In Utah, thousands of accidents occur each year, many resulting in serious injuries and fatalities. Urban intersections, like the one where this crash occurred, can be particularly hazardous due to heavy traffic flow and multiple turning movements. Below are some common factors that contribute to intersection collisions.
- Failure to yield: Drivers who do not give the right-of-way can cause dangerous side-impact collisions.
- Running red lights or stop signs: Ignoring traffic signals is a leading cause of intersection crashes.
- Distracted driving: Using a phone or focusing on something other than the road can result in missed traffic cues.
- Speeding through intersections: Excessive speed reduces reaction time and worsens crash severity.
- Improper turns: Failing to signal or turning from the wrong lane can lead to unexpected conflicts with other vehicles.
