Car Accidents in Michigan

Michigan continues to experience a significant number of vehicle crashes each year. State data from 2022 shows nearly 300,000 reported collisions, with over 70,000 resulting in injuries. Urban areas like Flint often experience elevated accident risks due to busy intersections, high traffic volumes, and aggressive driving patterns.

Following a crash like this, it's helpful to understand how intersections often play a role in collisions:

• Driver Inattention at Signals: Distraction is a major factor in intersection crashes. Drivers who fail to notice a light change or who roll through red lights or stop signs put themselves and others in danger.
• Improper Left Turns: One of the most common causes of crashes at intersections is a driver turning left without yielding to oncoming traffic. Misjudging timing or speed can result in severe side-impact collisions.
• Blocked Sight Lines: Poor visibility due to buildings, parked cars, or poorly positioned signage can prevent drivers from seeing oncoming traffic clearly, leading to high-risk situations.
• Speeding Through Intersections: Some drivers accelerate through intersections to beat changing lights, which increases the severity of a crash if one occurs. These high-speed impacts are more likely to cause serious injuries.
• Failure to Understand Right-of-Way: Miscommunication or confusion over who has the right-of-way is another frequent cause. This often happens at four-way stops or intersections with flashing lights.
