Car Accidents in Utah
Utah sees thousands of car accidents each year, with many occurring at busy intersections and high-traffic areas. According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, distracted driving, failure to yield, and speeding are among the leading causes of roadway collisions.
Here are some common reasons crashes occur at intersections:
- Failure to Yield – Many accidents happen when drivers disregard right-of-way rules, particularly when turning left or merging into traffic.
- Distracted Driving – Looking at a phone, adjusting controls, or engaging in other distractions increases the likelihood of missing important traffic signals.
- Running Red Lights – Ignoring a red light or stop sign can lead to severe T-bone or rear-end collisions.
- Improper Lane Changes – Failing to check blind spots or signal before switching lanes can result in crashes, especially on busy roads.
- Following Too Closely – Tailgating is a major factor in rear-end collisions, especially when drivers do not anticipate sudden stops.
