Car Accidents in Utah
According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, crashes occurring during late-night and early-morning hours can be especially dangerous due to reduced visibility and increased risk factors such as driver fatigue or impairment. Below are some common contributors to accidents during these times.
- Reduced visibility: Low lighting conditions make it harder to identify hazards in time.
- Driver fatigue: Sleepiness can significantly slow reaction times and impair judgment.
- Alcohol or drug use: Impaired driving is more prevalent during nighttime hours.
- Speeding: Light traffic may lead some drivers to exceed speed limits, increasing crash severity.
- Distraction: Even brief moments of inattention can cause serious accidents.
