Car Accidents in Utah
Crashes often occur during nighttime hours when visibility is low and driver fatigue is more likely. According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, a large number of injury collisions in Utah happen after dark, especially in residential and semi-rural areas. Night driving presents its own set of risks that can increase the chance of a serious accident.
Here are a few nighttime hazards that often contribute to crashes:
- Reduced Visibility: Headlights only illuminate a limited portion of the road. Pedestrians, wildlife, or debris can be hard to see until it’s too late.
- Fatigued Driving: Late at night, driver fatigue becomes a major concern. Drowsiness can slow reaction time and lead to missed signals or lane drifting.
- Increased Impaired Driving: Alcohol- and drug-related crashes are more common during nighttime hours, especially between 10 p.m. and 3 a.m.
- Glare from Headlights: Oncoming headlights can create temporary blindness or disorientation, particularly for older drivers.
- Speed Misjudgment: Drivers often underestimate how fast they’re going at night due to the lack of visual references, increasing stopping distances.
- Limited Traffic Patrol: Fewer officers are on patrol overnight, which can delay help and reduce the likelihood of witnessing violations in real time.
