Car Accidents in Utah
Crashes continue to affect thousands of Utah residents each year, with injuries ranging from minor to life-altering. According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, collisions are especially common along major highways such as U.S. 89. Here in Utah, enforcement and safety efforts aim to curb reckless driving and improve driver awareness across the state.
One of the most dangerous, and often overlooked, factors in crashes is failure to yield:
- Whether at intersections, during merges, or when entering a highway, failure to yield is a leading cause of serious accidents in Utah. This error often results in T-bone or angle crashes, which are particularly dangerous.
- Drivers may misjudge gaps in traffic, ignore signs, or incorrectly assume they have the right of way.
- Many of these accidents happen at relatively low speeds but still lead to severe injuries, especially when one vehicle strikes the side of another.
- Staying alert and following right-of-way rules is vital to preventing these crashes and protecting all road users.
