Car Accidents in Utah
Across Utah, vehicle accidents continue to impact thousands of families each year. In 2023, there were more than 61,000 reported crashes on Utah roads, many of which led to injury or loss of life. Intersections and urban roadways, like those in Salt Lake City, tend to be high-risk areas due to traffic congestion and frequent stops.
Let’s take a closer look at some of the most common types of accidents that occur:
- Rear-End Collisions: These are among the most frequent crashes on Utah roads. They often result from distracted driving or following too closely. Injuries such as whiplash, back strain, and head trauma are common, especially for drivers or passengers in the front vehicle.
- Side-Impact (T-Bone) Collisions: T-bone accidents happen when one vehicle strikes the side of another, usually at an intersection. These crashes can cause serious injuries, particularly to the person seated on the side of the impact, due to the limited protection provided by side panels.
- Single-Vehicle Accidents: Not all crashes involve multiple cars. A driver might swerve off the road due to weather, poor road conditions, or trying to avoid an obstacle. These incidents often result in rollovers, which can cause severe trauma to occupants.
- Multi-Vehicle Pileups: When several vehicles are involved in a chain-reaction crash, the damage and injuries are often severe. These are more likely to occur during heavy traffic or poor visibility and are difficult for drivers to avoid once they start.
- Pedestrian and Cyclist Accidents: Busy urban streets can be dangerous for those on foot or bike. Poor visibility, driver inattention, or failure to yield can quickly turn deadly when vulnerable road users are involved.
