Car Accidents in Michigan

Interstate crashes are a major contributor to injury-related collisions across Michigan. High speeds, changing lanes, and limited lighting during late-night hours create added dangers—especially in areas like Saginaw where traffic merges and exits can come quickly. Each year, Michigan reports thousands of crashes on freeways, many occurring late at night or in low-visibility conditions.

One critical element that affects night driving safety is the lack of adequate visibility. Here's a closer look at how visibility issues contribute to crashes and why they're so important to address:

• Reduced Depth Perception: Darkness affects how well drivers can judge distance and speed. This makes it harder to accurately gauge how close other vehicles are—particularly when changing lanes or merging.
• Glare from Oncoming Headlights: Bright headlights from other vehicles can temporarily blind drivers, especially on poorly lit roads. This glare can delay reactions or cause disorientation.
• Limited Field of Vision: At night, the distance a driver can see is shortened, especially in rural or less-developed areas. Objects, pedestrians, or debris in the road may not be visible until it’s too late to avoid them.
• Driver Fatigue: Nighttime hours often coincide with natural sleep cycles. Fatigued drivers are more prone to mistakes, slower reaction times, and even falling asleep behind the wheel.
• Impaired Drivers: Unfortunately, night driving also sees a higher rate of impaired drivers on the road. Even responsible drivers can become victims of others’ reckless or illegal behavior.

If you’ve been hurt in a crash during late-night or early morning hours, it’s essential to contact a Saginaw car accident attorney right away. Legal guidance can help ensure that critical evidence is collected and that you’re not left to navigate insurance claims or recovery alone.
