Kimball Junction, UT (December 23, 2021) – On Thursday, December 23rd, several emergency response agencies were dispatched to a multi-vehicle accident in Kimball Junction that left at least one driver injured.
The collision happened at about 4:40 p.m. on State Route 224 at the intersection of Olympic Parkway.
Emergency medical personnel were dispatched to the scene. The exact number of injured victims and their current medical statuses are unknown.
This accident is under investigation by local law enforcement.
Our thoughts are with the injured victim and their family at this time. We hope for their full recovery.
In 2015, 276 people died in Utah car accidents; the highest rate of fatalities in the state in the last seven years. According to a representative from the Utah Highway Patrol, 93% of those deaths were caused by human error.
Although some of these fatal accidents can be attributed to an overall increase in travel, most of the state’s deadly crashes happen because drivers refuse to heed the state’s warnings about safe driving. Committing offenses that range from not being properly restrained while the vehicle is moving, to driving under the influence, Utah residents seem absolutely determined to go against common sense and the law.
While driving regulations and laws in every state exist for the sole purpose of preventing car accidents and the loss of life, it is obvious that not enough is being done. Especially when you consider that Utah’s rate of fatal car accidents has increased by more than 25% since its all-time low in 2012.
When a collision caused by another motorist’s negligence causes harm to other people, the injured victims need to seek legal guidance from a car accident attorney in Kimball Junction. Whenever somebody is hurt and another person is the cause, they are qualified to obtain compensation for their losses.
