Car Accidents in Michigan

Each year in Michigan, tens of thousands of people are injured in traffic-related incidents. In 2022, more than 70,000 injury crashes were documented across the state. Busy urban intersections, such as the one at North Dort Highway and Robert T Longway Boulevard, see frequent accidents due to heavy traffic, lane changes, and turning vehicles.

In connection with this crash, it’s important to understand the risks related to multi-lane intersection crashes:

• Lane Confusion and Misjudged Turns: Wide intersections with multiple turn lanes can be confusing, especially when drivers are unfamiliar with the area. This often leads to misjudged turns or merging conflicts that cause crashes.
• Red-Light Running and Speeding: High-speed intersections are particularly dangerous when drivers run red lights or accelerate through yellow signals. These behaviors significantly increase the force of collisions.
• Delayed Left Turns Across Traffic: Drivers attempting to make a left turn across several lanes of traffic often have limited visibility. If another vehicle is speeding or driving unpredictably, crashes are likely.
• Rear-End Collisions in Congested Traffic: Sudden braking in heavy traffic can catch following drivers off guard. These types of crashes are frequent at intersections with long red-light cycles.
• Driver Distraction and Inattention: With navigation apps, cell phones, and in-car distractions, drivers are sometimes not fully engaged at intersections. That lack of attention can cause delays in braking or reaction time, leading to injury-causing crashes.
