Car Accidents in Utah
Interstate crashes in Utah are often severe due to high speeds and limited visibility at night. According to the Utah Department of Transportation, thousands of highway crashes happen each year across the state, many resulting in serious injury or death. Nighttime driving poses added risks, particularly in rural counties like Weber.
Let’s look at some common dangers of nighttime interstate travel:
- Limited Visibility: Headlights only illuminate a short stretch of road, reducing the time drivers have to react to hazards like debris, animals, or sudden stops.
- Driver Fatigue: Fatigue is a leading cause of overnight crashes. Long stretches of highway driving can lead to microsleeps or slower reaction times, increasing crash risk.
- High Speeds: Interstate speed limits are higher, which means collisions result in more forceful impacts. Higher speeds also make it more difficult to avoid sudden obstacles or braking vehicles.
- Impaired Driving: A significant percentage of DUI-related accidents occur at night. Drivers under the influence may drift into other lanes or misjudge speed and distance.
- Single-Vehicle Crashes: Late-night accidents are often single-vehicle incidents caused by drowsiness, distraction, or overcorrection. These crashes can still be severe, especially if the vehicle leaves the roadway.
