Car Accidents in Utah
Communities like Washington see a mix of residential and high-speed rural traffic, especially near roads like Washington Dam Road. Statewide, Utah reports more than 25,000 injury crashes every year. Intersections are among the most common locations for these accidents, especially where visibility is limited or signage is unclear.
Intersections carry increased risks for all drivers. Here are a few reasons why:
- Failure to Yield: Many crashes occur when one driver fails to yield the right-of-way. This is especially common when drivers misjudge timing or assume others will stop.
- Unclear Signage: When signs are missing, blocked, or confusing, drivers may enter intersections unsure of who has priority. These moments of hesitation often lead to collisions.
- Speeding Through Yellow Lights: Drivers trying to “beat the light” can end up entering an intersection as others begin to move. High-speed crashes in these scenarios are common and often cause serious injuries.
- Left-Hand Turns: Making an unprotected left turn across traffic is one of the most dangerous maneuvers at an intersection. Misjudging speed or distance can easily lead to impact with oncoming vehicles.
- Distracted or Inattentive Driving: Even brief distractions—such as glancing at a phone—can lead to missed signals or stop signs. Intersections demand full attention, especially in busy or unfamiliar areas.
