Car Accidents in Michigan

Across Michigan, motor vehicle crashes remain a leading source of injury. In a recent year, the state reported over 70,000 accidents that resulted in injuries. Many of these collisions happen on local roads like Schoenherr Road, where traffic volume and speed limits can create dangerous conditions—especially near intersections or construction zones.

One important factor that often contributes to local crashes is driver inattention. Let’s take a closer look at several types of distracted driving and how they impact safety:

• Texting and Phone Use: Using a phone while driving—even for a moment—can take a driver’s eyes off the road long enough to cause a collision. Texting is especially risky because it combines visual, cognitive, and manual distractions.
• Eating or Drinking: Many drivers grab a quick bite on the go, but reaching for food or spilling a drink can distract them just enough to miss traffic signals, pedestrians, or braking vehicles.
• In-Car Devices: Modern vehicles are loaded with screens and tech—navigation systems, music controls, and Bluetooth devices. While helpful, these tools can lead to crashes if drivers focus more on screens than the road.
• Passenger Distractions: Conversations with passengers, especially in crowded or noisy vehicles, can cause drivers to lose focus. Young drivers are particularly susceptible to this type of distraction.
• Daydreaming or Mental Distraction: Even without physical distractions, a wandering mind can be just as dangerous. Thinking about work, errands, or emotional concerns can slow a driver’s reaction time in critical moments.
