Car Accidents in Michigan

Michigan roads, including high-traffic intersections in Detroit, are common locations for injury crashes. According to statewide traffic data, thousands of collisions occur each year at intersections alone, with many leading to serious injuries requiring emergency care.

Let’s take a look at several reasons why intersections are among the most dangerous places for drivers and pedestrians alike:

• Red-Light Running: One of the leading causes of intersection crashes is drivers running red lights. These violations can result in high-speed side-impact collisions, which often lead to severe injuries.
• Improper Left Turns: Drivers misjudging the speed or distance of oncoming vehicles often attempt unsafe left turns, causing crashes in the intersection. This is especially risky in areas with heavy traffic or limited visibility.
• Distracted Driving: Using a phone, adjusting a GPS, or even talking to passengers can cause drivers to miss signals or fail to notice other vehicles, leading to preventable crashes at intersections.
• Failure to Yield: Some drivers fail to give the right of way when required, especially during lane changes or merging. These small errors can have major consequences in a crowded intersection.
• Blocked Lines of Sight: Vehicles waiting to turn or large trucks can block other drivers’ views. This increases the likelihood of a collision, particularly when visibility is already limited by signage or roadside obstructions.
