Motorcycle Accidents in Utah
Motorcycle accidents in Utah continue to cause serious injuries every year. According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, motorcyclists are nearly 30 times more likely to be killed in a crash than occupants of passenger vehicles. In Utah, rider visibility and right-of-way violations by other drivers are among the top contributors to motorcycle-related collisions.
Here’s what every Utah motorist should understand about the high risk of intersection-related crashes:
- Failure to Yield: One of the most common causes of intersection accidents involves drivers failing to yield to motorcyclists. Smaller vehicles are often harder to detect, and drivers may incorrectly judge their speed.
- Left-Turn Accidents: Many collisions occur when a vehicle turns left in front of an oncoming motorcycle. These situations leave riders with almost no time or space to stop, often resulting in high-impact injuries.
- Obstructed Views: Parked cars, road signs, or buildings near intersections can block the line of sight, making it harder to see an approaching motorcyclist until it’s too late.
- Traffic Light Errors: Drivers rushing through yellow or red lights at intersections can cause severe crashes. Motorcyclists are especially vulnerable when crossing during green signals if another driver fails to stop.
- Driver Distraction: Texting, phone calls, and other distractions are major contributors to crashes at busy intersections. A momentary lapse in focus is all it takes to miss a motorcyclist.
