Car Accidents in Michigan

Each year, Michigan sees more than 70,000 injury crashes on its roadways. Many of these incidents occur on smaller township or county roads, where traffic control devices may be limited and visibility can be challenging. Rural and suburban areas like Flushing Township are not immune to the serious consequences that can come from vehicle collisions.

One important element that can influence crash outcomes is how well vehicles are equipped for safety. Here’s a breakdown of how vehicle safety features can impact accidents and injuries:

• Airbags: Modern vehicles come equipped with front and side airbags, which are designed to cushion occupants during impact. While airbags don’t prevent crashes, they significantly reduce the severity of injuries, especially in high-speed collisions.
• Anti-Lock Braking Systems (ABS): ABS helps drivers maintain steering control during emergency braking. This system prevents the wheels from locking up, allowing drivers to better avoid obstacles and reduce stopping distance.
• Lane Departure Warning and Assist: These systems alert drivers if their vehicle is drifting out of its lane and may even gently steer the vehicle back into position. This can help prevent crashes caused by inattention or fatigue.
• Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB): AEB systems detect imminent collisions with vehicles or pedestrians and apply the brakes if the driver doesn’t react in time. This feature is especially helpful in stop-and-go traffic or when visibility is poor.
• Backup Cameras and Sensors: Rearview cameras and sensors provide visibility that drivers may not otherwise have. These tools are particularly useful when maneuvering in parking lots or crowded areas and can help avoid low-speed crashes.
