Car Accidents in Michigan

Thousands of crashes occur on Michigan roads each year, many of which result in serious injuries. Multi-vehicle accidents, like the one on Garfield Road, often happen in areas with heavy traffic, intersections, or sudden stops. Understanding the common causes of these crashes can help drivers stay safer.

Here are some of the most common causes of multi-vehicle accidents:

• Tailgating and Sudden Stops – Following too closely behind another vehicle reduces reaction time. If a driver suddenly brakes, a rear-end collision can trigger a chain reaction.
• Failure to Yield – Many crashes occur when drivers fail to yield at intersections or when merging. This can lead to dangerous side-impact or multi-vehicle collisions.
• Distracted Driving – Looking at a phone, adjusting controls, or eating while driving can result in a driver not noticing stopped traffic or an upcoming hazard.
• Speeding in Traffic – Driving too fast in congested areas makes it harder to stop or maneuver safely. Speeding can turn minor collisions into serious multi-car pileups.
• Poor Weather or Road Conditions – Rain, snow, and ice reduce traction, making it easier for vehicles to slide and crash. Drivers should adjust speed and following distance accordingly.
