Car Accidents in Michigan

Michigan remains one of the states with consistently high accident numbers. In 2023, there were more than 293,000 crashes reported across the state, with over 57,000 involving injuries. These incidents affect drivers, passengers, pedestrians, and communities in countless ways.

When accidents occur at intersections like Coldwater Road and Neff Road, the causes are often rooted in visibility, timing, and right-of-way confusion. Here's how intersection-related issues contribute to injury crashes:

• Failure to Yield: Many crashes stem from one driver not yielding the right-of-way, especially during turns. Misjudging the speed or distance of oncoming traffic can lead to serious side-impact collisions.
• Signal Violations: Running red lights or stop signs, or making illegal turns, often results in crashes that leave little time for the other driver to react. These actions are among the leading causes of injury crashes in intersections.
• Impaired Line of Sight: Bushes, parked cars, or large signs near intersections can block a driver’s view. Without a clear line of sight, drivers may enter the roadway without seeing an oncoming vehicle, raising the risk of a crash.
• Driver Distraction: At busy intersections, distracted drivers might miss signals or fail to notice a vehicle in front of them stopping. A momentary distraction can result in a serious rear-end or T-bone crash.
• Improper or Unsafe Turns: Some intersections have confusing layouts or lack turn signals. Drivers unfamiliar with the area may make sudden or unsafe moves, leading to accidents during lane changes or while merging.
