Car Accidents in Utah
Each year, thousands of crashes in Utah lead to injuries and fatalities. According to recent state reports, more than 18,000 injury crashes occurred in 2022, with many caused by speeding, distracted driving, and failure to yield.
To stay safe on the road, it is important to understand common causes of crashes:
- Following Too Closely – Tailgating reduces reaction time, increasing the likelihood of rear-end collisions. Keeping a safe distance can help prevent accidents.
- Improper Lane Changes – Failing to check blind spots or use turn signals often leads to side-impact crashes. Drivers should always signal and look before changing lanes.
- Drowsy Driving – Fatigue impairs judgment and slows reaction times, making accidents more likely. Getting enough rest before driving is crucial for road safety.
- Road Conditions – Wet or icy roads increase the risk of losing control. Drivers should adjust speed and braking distance based on weather conditions.
