Car Accidents in Michigan

Flint, MI – Auto Wreck with Injuries on I-75 at Miller RdA comprehensive study conducted by Indiana University revealed that a significant number of accidents in the United States are avoidable, with negligence playing a prominent role in road collisions. The study findings shed light on various causes that contribute to these mishaps:

  • Failure to Yield: 6.8% of accidents were due to drivers not yielding the right-of-way, often resulting in dangerous intersections and turn collisions.
  • Distracted Driving: 5.5% of incidents stemmed from drivers not focusing on the road, whether due to mobile phone usage, eating, or other distractions inside the vehicle.
  • Fatigue: 2.2% of crashes were caused by drowsy driving, where drivers' reduced alertness and slower reaction times led to catastrophic events, especially during long trips or late-night drives.
  • Alcohol or Drugs: 11.6% of crashes involved drivers impaired by substances, highlighting the severe consequences of driving under the influence and the need for stringent enforcement of DUI laws.
  • Speeding: 19.1% of incidents resulted from driving too fast for conditions. Speeding reduces the driver’s ability to react to unexpected situations, increases stopping distances, and often leads to more severe impacts.
  • Over-Correcting: 3.2% of accidents were a result of drivers over-steering or making excessive maneuvers to avoid obstacles, which can lead to a loss of vehicle control and subsequent collisions.
