Colorado Car Accidents
Denver experiences a significant number of car accidents each year, with busy streets and highways seeing frequent collisions. Factors such as heavy traffic, congested urban areas, and occasional adverse weather contribute to the high volume of crashes throughout the city. The Denver Police Department and local agencies report hundreds of accidents annually, particularly at busy intersections and major thoroughfares.
These challenging conditions often lead to various types of accidents. Here are some common factors contributing to crashes in Denver’s mountainous areas:
Speeding on Curves and Descents: Many drivers unfamiliar with mountain driving don’t anticipate how quickly their speed can increase going downhill. Failing to slow down before tight curves often results in loss of control or veering into oncoming lanes.
Brake Problems from Overuse: Long downhill grades put extra strain on brakes. Overheating or brake failure, especially in older vehicles or heavy trucks, can cause crashes or cause drivers to leave the roadway.
Unsafe Passing Attempts: On narrow, two-lane roads, some drivers take dangerous risks trying to pass slower vehicles. These risky maneuvers are a frequent cause of head-on collisions in mountainous terrain.
Sudden Weather Changes: Fog, snow, or ice can appear quickly at higher elevations, drastically reducing visibility and road traction. These conditions often lead to multi-vehicle pileups.
