Car Accidents in Michigan
Michigan State Police data shows that urban intersections with high traffic volumes are frequent sites for injury-causing accidents. Contributing factors often include distracted driving, speeding, and failing to yield while turning. In busy city environments like Detroit, these risks are amplified by the mix of passenger vehicles, buses, cyclists, and pedestrians sharing the roadway.
Drivers can lower their chances of being involved in such collisions by reducing speeds in high-traffic zones, scanning for cross traffic, and anticipating sudden stops. Defensive driving and attentiveness are especially important on multi-lane roads where visibility can be limited by larger vehicles.
