Car Accidents in Utah
According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, vehicle crashes are a common occurrence across the state, with thousands reported annually. Many of these incidents involve two or more vehicles, often caused by preventable driving errors. Below are some frequent contributing factors to multi-vehicle accidents.
- Distracted driving: Taking attention off the road, even briefly, can lead to rear-end or side-impact collisions.
- Speeding: Higher speeds make it harder to stop in time and increase the severity of injuries.
- Failure to yield: Disregarding right-of-way rules is a major cause of intersection crashes.
- Following too closely: Tailgating reduces reaction time and increases the likelihood of a chain-reaction crash.
- Improper lane changes: Failing to check blind spots before merging can lead to dangerous side-swipes.
