Car Accidents in Michigan

Accidents continue to be a major concern across Michigan. The Michigan State Police reported nearly 300,000 crashes in 2022, with more than 70,000 involving injuries. Intersections in suburban communities, such as Genesee Township, can be especially prone to collisions due to traffic congestion and driver error.

This recent crash highlights how intersection-related accidents often occur, and here are a few contributing factors to consider:

• Confusion Over Right-of-Way: Drivers often misinterpret traffic signals or signage, especially at intersections with turn lanes, flashing lights, or complex layouts. This confusion can lead to sudden, unexpected collisions.
• Turning Vehicles and Blind Spots: Drivers making left or right turns at intersections may not see oncoming traffic clearly, especially if another vehicle or object obstructs their view. This often results in side-impact crashes.
• Running Red Lights or Stop Signs: Impatience or distraction can lead drivers to ignore traffic controls. Failing to stop at red lights or stop signs is a leading cause of serious intersection crashes.
• Pedestrian and Cyclist Hazards: Intersections are often shared spaces with walkers and bikers. Without clear attention to crosswalks, accidents involving non-motorists can occur.
• Multiple Points of Conflict: Intersections have numerous entry and exit paths, increasing the number of potential conflict points. These areas require heightened awareness and quick decision-making.
