Car Accidents in Utah
Utah sees thousands of injury-related crashes each year, many of which occur on major roadways like Legacy Parkway. Statewide data shows that many of these accidents happen during afternoon hours when traffic volume is high and driver fatigue can begin to set in. The combination of speed and distraction remains a leading cause behind many collisions.
Here’s what drivers should know about how distracted driving contributes to accidents:
- Phone Use Is a Leading Distraction: Texting, calling, or checking navigation apps takes attention off the road. Even a few seconds of looking away can result in a rear-end collision or a lane departure. Utah law prohibits handheld phone use, but violations still occur daily.
- Passengers and Conversations Can Cause Distraction: Engaging in lively conversations or turning to talk to passengers takes focus away from driving. Young or inexperienced drivers are especially prone to distraction from passengers, which increases crash risk.
- Eating or Drinking While Driving Is Risky: Trying to grab food, unwrap packaging, or balance a drink may not seem hazardous—but these actions reduce reaction time and divert attention. Spills or drops can cause panic reactions that lead to accidents.
- In-Vehicle Technology Isn’t Always Safer: Touchscreens, navigation inputs, and dashboard systems are common in modern vehicles. These tools may offer convenience, but when used while driving, they are just as distracting as phones.
- Mental Distraction Is Just as Dangerous: Even if your hands are on the wheel and eyes are on the road, being mentally preoccupied can dull response time. Stress, fatigue, or intense emotions all impact a driver’s ability to stay alert and aware.
