Car Accidents in Michigan

Michigan drivers face a variety of risks each time they take to the roads. Each year, the state sees over 280,000 crashes, with more than 70,000 resulting in injury. Intersections, like the one at Corunna Road and South Ballenger Highway, are especially prone to collisions due to the high volume of traffic and crossing paths.

One key factor often influencing both accidents and their outcomes is driver behavior. Here are some common risky driving behaviors that frequently lead to accidents:

• Running Red Lights or Stop Signs: Failing to obey traffic signals puts drivers, passengers, and pedestrians at risk. These types of violations are common at busy intersections and often result in side-impact crashes.
• Aggressive Driving: Speeding, weaving through traffic, and tailgating all fall into this category. Aggressive driving increases the likelihood of a crash and can escalate minor incidents into serious collisions.
• Drowsy Driving: Fatigue can slow reaction times and impair judgment. Long hours behind the wheel or driving without enough rest is comparable to driving under the influence in terms of risk.
• Failure to Use Turn Signals: Signaling is critical for communication between drivers. Failing to use turn signals increases the chances of side-swipes and rear-end crashes, especially during lane changes or turns.
• Ignoring Road Conditions: Wet or icy roads require drivers to reduce speed and increase following distance. Ignoring these conditions makes it easier to lose control, especially when braking or turning.
