West Jordan's Most Dangerous Roads

Each crash UDOT recorded inside West Jordan city limits from January 1, 2018 through August 4, 2025 was assigned to a street. The assignment uses the state's road map together with the road the investigating officer wrote in the report. Crashes on interchange ramps, in private parking lots and at points that could not be tied to a street are kept out of the ranking. Serious or fatal means the report lists a death or a suspected serious injury.

UDOT's records place 12,944 crashes inside the city. Interchange ramps account for 416, private lots for 230, and 17 could not be placed on a street; the remaining 12,281 happened on West Jordan's streets and highways, and they are what this page ranks. Among them, 363 were serious or fatal and 36 people died in 35 fatal crashes. An injury of some kind, counting possible injuries, appears in 40.3% of these reports, compared with 32.1% across the seven counties in this data (Salt Lake, Utah, Davis, Weber, Summit, Cache and Washington).

Older Arterials Quieting, a New Highway Climbing

7800 South went from 379 crashes in 2018 to 214 in 2024, and its serious or fatal crashes from 11 to 2. 9000 South (SR-209) dropped from 277 to 129 and Redwood Road from 283 to 192 over the same years. Citywide, street crashes fell 24.2%, from 1,950 in 2018 to 1,478 in 2024, and serious or fatal crashes from 65 to 41.

Mountain View Corridor moved the other way, from 62 crashes in 2018 to 83 in 2024, with a high of 97 in 2022. It is fifth by total crashes but has the largest serious or fatal share among West Jordan's fifteen busiest streets, 27 of 524 (5.15%), along with 4 deaths. Its junction with 9000 South logged 113 crashes and 10 of them were serious or fatal, more than any other junction on those fifteen streets.

West Jordan's Ten Busiest Crash Corridors

The ten streets below recorded the most crashes inside city limits from January 2018 through August 4, 2025. Where two of them cross, the crash is counted once, on whichever road the officer's report names. The cross streets listed are the junctions with the most crashes along each road.

• 7800 South — 2,021 crashes, 64 serious or fatal, 5 deaths. Mountain View Corridor (120), 3200 West (114) and 2700 West (109) are its busiest junctions, and 14 of its serious crashes involved a motorcycle.
• 9000 South (SR-209) — 1,542 crashes, 40 serious or fatal, 6 deaths, the most deaths among these ten. Rear-end crashes made up 45.7%; 4000 West (102) and Redwood Road (95) lead its junctions.
• Redwood Road (1700 West, SR-68) — 1,528 crashes, 53 serious or fatal, 5 deaths. 7800 South (146) and 7000 South (140) are its busiest crossings, and an older driver was flagged in 289 of its crashes.
• 7000 South — 643 crashes, 21 serious or fatal, 2 deaths. Unlike most of the list it had more crashes in 2024 than in 2018, 95 against 83, and 2700 West (53) and Temple Drive (52) are its busiest junctions.
• Mountain View Corridor (SR-85) — 524 crashes, 27 serious or fatal, 4 deaths. Officers flagged speed in 16.4% of its crashes, and its 9000 South junction had 10 serious or fatal crashes.
• Bangerter Highway (3600 West, SR-154) — 457 crashes, 11 serious or fatal, 2 deaths. Half were rear-end collisions (50.1%), the highest share on this list, and UDOT estimates reach about 66,000 vehicles a day.
• 4000 West — 300 crashes, 8 serious or fatal, 1 death. Side-impact crashes were 48.7%, the highest share among these ten, and the 9000 South junction alone had 82.
• 5600 West — 299 crashes, 14 serious or fatal, no deaths. A teen driver was involved in 36.8% of its crashes, the highest share among these ten; 7800 South (57) is its busiest junction.
• Temple Drive (1300 West) — 294 crashes, 9 serious or fatal, 1 death. Its 7000 South junction had 40 crashes and 3 of the 9 serious ones.
• Old Bingham Highway (9360 South) — 289 crashes, 12 serious or fatal, 1 death. A commercial vehicle was involved in 12.1% of its crashes, the most of these ten, and 5 serious crashes came at Mountain View Corridor.

These ten streets carry 7,897 of the city's 12,281 street crashes (64.3%), and an even larger share of the harm: 259 of the 363 serious or fatal crashes (71.3%) and 27 of the 36 deaths. The three biggest, 7800 South, 9000 South and Redwood Road, hold 41.5% of all crashes and 16 of the deaths on their own.

Ranked by Serious Injuries Instead

Order the streets by serious or fatal crashes and Redwood Road moves up to second with 53, ahead of 9000 South's 40. Mountain View Corridor moves up to fourth with 27. 5600 West climbs from eighth to sixth with 14, and Jordan Landing Boulevard (3810 West), 11th by crashes, ties for seventh with 12 serious or fatal crashes and 2 deaths. 56.1% of Jordan Landing's 280 crashes were side impacts. 4000 West falls off the list.

Side Impacts Do the Most Damage

Side-impact collisions are 35.7% of West Jordan's street crashes but 47.9% of the serious or fatal ones, above the 35.2% share across the seven counties. Rear-end crashes run the other way, 32.5% of crashes and 9.6% of the serious ones. Pedestrians were in 1.3% of crashes and 10.5% of serious ones, and motorcyclists in 1.7% and 16.3%. The group UDOT reports as single-vehicle or not applicable, which includes a vehicle striking a person on foot or a fixed object, holds 32.0% of the serious total.

Officers flagged a driver disregarding a signal or sign in 8.2% of crashes but 16.8% of the serious or fatal ones, against 12.3% across the seven counties. A driver left the scene in 10.3% of crashes (8.6% across the seven counties), and impairment shows up in 1.6% of crashes but 6.9% of serious ones. The 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. window holds 36.9% of crashes, peaking in the 5 p.m. hour; Sunday had 903 crashes against Friday's 2,020; and over the complete years 2018 to 2024, October was the busiest month.

No Interstate, but Busy Interchange Ramps

No interstate runs through West Jordan, so its freeway-type crashes are almost all on Bangerter Highway's interchange ramps: 403 crashes, 10 of them serious or fatal and none fatal. Other ramp and freeway-coded crashes add 13, for 416 in all, 3.2% of the crashes in the city. Crashes on Bangerter's main lanes are ranked with the streets above. Property-damage crashes too small to require a report are missing from UDOT's data, and the series stops at August 4, 2025.

After a Crash on a West Jordan Street

Utah is a no-fault state for the first layer of medical bills: your own personal injury protection pays at least $3,000 in medical expenses whoever caused the crash (Utah Code § 31A-22-307). Pain and suffering can be claimed from the at-fault driver once the injury crosses the threshold in § 31A-22-309, such as a broken bone, permanent impairment or more than $3,000 in medical expenses. If the driver who hit you was never identified, the vehicle is treated as uninsured (§ 31A-22-305(2)(b)), which lets you claim under your own uninsured motorist coverage. Fault is compared: what you recover shrinks by your share, and you recover only if the fault of those you claim against exceeds yours (§ 78B-5-818). The general deadline to sue is four years (§ 78B-2-307), but a claim that West Jordan or UDOT built or kept a road unsafe needs a written notice of claim within one year (§ 63G-7-402). Our West Jordan car accident page explains how these cases move forward, and West Jordan’s most dangerous intersections looks at the signals where pedestrians and cyclists are hit. The statewide guides cover proving fault, filing a PIP claim, hit-and-run crashes and the filing deadline.

Costs a Claim Can Recover

• Money already spent or lost: emergency care, hospital and clinic bills, physical therapy, the wages missed during recovery, and the cost to fix or replace the car.
• What the injury takes from daily life: pain, interrupted sleep, lost mobility, and the activities and routines that no longer work the way they did.
• What the future will cost: treatment and procedures still to come, lost earning ability, and in-home help when an injury is lasting.

Where These Numbers Come From

Crash records: UDOT's public Crash_Locations data, every crash type, January 1, 2018 through August 4, 2025, the last date in the public series. City limits: UGRC's municipal boundary map, applied to all years, so a crash in an area annexed later is counted as West Jordan. Street assignment: each crash was matched to a segment of UGRC's Utah Roads map within 35 meters, preferring the road named in the officer's report; across the full dataset that match agreed with the report's road in about nine of ten crashes. Severity: fatal or suspected serious injury as reported. Vehicle volumes are UDOT estimates for state routes from varying years. Flags reflect what the officer recorded, not a finding of fault, and comparisons are to the seven counties in this data. Every city we have ranked this way is listed on our statewide page, Utah’s most dangerous roads.
