Our thoughts are with the injured victim and their family at this time. We hope for their full recovery.
The state of Utah is home to more than three million people, all of whom live, play, work, and raise families. Sadly, as beautiful as our state is, it is also a hotspot for automobile accidents. A lot of these accidents end in serious injury or even fatalities for those involved.
As reflected in statistics issued by the Utah Department of Public Safety, car accidents in Utah have resulted in an increasing number of deaths. In 2020, over 53,000 vehicle collisions took place in Salt Lake City alone, leaving over 16,000 people with some degree of injury. In that same year, almost 270 people died in car accidents across the city.
