Car Accidents in Utah
Thousands of crashes occur across Utah each year, with many taking place during nighttime hours. According to reports from the Utah Department of Public Safety, reduced visibility and driver fatigue contribute heavily to evening collisions. Here in Utah, safety officials continue to emphasize careful, alert driving—especially after sunset.
When looking at common nighttime crash contributors, here are a few important factors to consider:
- Glare and Poor Lighting: Oncoming headlights and dim streetlights can impair visibility and depth perception, increasing the risk of crashes.
- Higher Speeds: With less traffic in the evening, drivers may travel faster—making it harder to stop in time for unexpected hazards.
- Fatigue-Related Errors: Drivers at night are often tired and slower to react. Many late crashes involve single-vehicle incidents caused by drowsiness.
- More Impaired Drivers: Alcohol- and drug-impaired driving increases at night, making the roads more dangerous for everyone.
