Car Accidents in Utah
Utah’s highways, including US 6, are commonly traveled by both commuters and long-distance drivers, which can lead to an increased risk of accidents. According to the Utah Department of Transportation, highway collisions often result in more serious injuries due to higher vehicle speeds and limited maneuvering space. Spanish Fork is no exception, especially along busy highway stretches.
Understanding the role that weather plays in highway accidents can help drivers better prepare. Here are a few weather-related dangers to consider:
- Rain and Wet Roads: Even light rain can reduce traction and make it harder for vehicles to stop. Water on the roadway increases the chance of hydroplaning, especially at highway speeds. Drivers are urged to slow down and keep a greater following distance during storms.
- Snow and Ice: Winter storms create hazardous driving conditions across Utah. Ice patches, even when not visible, can lead to spinouts and loss of control. Snow buildup can also block lane markings and reduce driver visibility, making it essential to use caution during winter travel.
- Fog and Low Visibility: Dense fog reduces reaction time and may lead to sudden slowdowns or missed exits. Headlights should be used—not brights—and drivers should proceed slowly and carefully when visibility is limited.
- Wind Gusts: High winds can push vehicles, especially high-profile ones like trucks or SUVs, off their intended path. Wind also contributes to debris being blown onto roads, creating additional hazards.
- Sun Glare: Sun glare during sunrise or sunset can blind drivers temporarily, increasing the risk of rear-end collisions or missing traffic signals. Sunglasses and sun visors can help reduce the impact.
