Injury Accidents in Utah
In 2015, 276 people were killed in car accidents in Utah; the highest rate of deaths in the state in the last seven years. According to a representative from the Utah Highway Patrol, more than 90% of those deaths were caused by human error.
Even though driving regulations and laws in every state exist for the sole purpose of preventing car accidents and the loss of life, it is obvious that not enough is being done. Especially when you consider that Utah’s rate of fatal car accidents has increased by more than 25% since its all-time low in 2012.
While some of these deadly accidents can be attributed to an overall increase in travel, most of the state’s deadly crashes happen because drivers refuse to heed the state’s warnings about safe driving. Committing offenses that vary from not being properly restrained while the vehicle is moving, to driving under the influence, Utah residents seem resolute in their determination to go against common sense and the law.
