Springville's Most Dangerous Roads

For this ranking, each crash in UDOT's public records falling within Springville's present city limits was placed on a street, based on the state road map and the road named by the officer who wrote the report. That produces a total per street rather than per intersection. Freeway and ramp crashes are left out of the ranking and summarized near the end; crashes on private property such as parking lots are not credited to any street. Serious or fatal means the report listed a death or a suspected serious injury.

Over the period UDOT logged 4,442 crashes in Springville: 903 on I-15 and its ramps, 48 on private property, 29 that could not be matched to a street, and 3,462 on city streets. Of the street crashes, 71 were serious or fatal (2.1%) and 5 people died. For comparison, 2.6% of street crashes were serious or fatal in the seven counties whose records are used here: Salt Lake, Utah, Davis, Weber, Summit, Cache and Washington.

400 South: Nearly Three in Ten Crashes, No Deaths

400 South recorded 1,014 crashes inside the city, almost twice Main Street's 557. 53.9% were rear-end collisions, the highest share among the ten busiest streets, and 259 happened between intersections rather than at one. Its crashes cluster at 950 West (132), Main Street (105), 1750 West (93) and 1200 West (84, 4 of them serious or fatal).

Volume has eased there. The street went from 187 crashes in 2018 to 97 in 2024, roughly half. It still carries the most serious or fatal crashes in the city, 19, but at 1.9% its severity share sits below the city's 2.1%. UDOT's estimates reach about 34,000 vehicles a day on parts of it.

Springville Streets Ranked by Crash Count

Crashes Down, Serious Crashes Up

Springville's street crashes fell from 518 in 2018 to 394 in 2024, about 24% fewer. Serious or fatal crashes moved the other way, from 7 in 2018 to 14 in 2023 and 13 in 2024. Ordered by serious or fatal crashes, 400 South leads with 19 and Main Street follows with 13; Canyon Road is third with 5 despite ranking tenth by crash count.

Speed, Motorcycles and Teen Drivers in the Worst Crashes

Officers flagged speed in 18 of the 71 serious or fatal street crashes, 25.4%, against 18.9% across the seven counties; only three of the 57 cities with enough data for this kind of page have a higher share. Motorcyclists were in 22 of the serious or fatal crashes, 31.0%, and a teen driver in 22, 31.0%, compared with 21.7% and 19.1% regionally.

Other patterns run the opposite way. Officers flagged a driver for disregarding a signal or sign in 4.2% of crashes, about half the 7.8% across the counties, and no serious or fatal crash involved a driver who fled. Rear-end crashes are 34.5% of the total and side impacts 31.3%. The group UDOT reports as single-vehicle or not applicable, which includes a vehicle hitting a pedestrian, cyclist or fixed object, holds 27 of the serious or fatal crashes.

Springville's I-15 Crashes, Reported Apart

I-15 and its ramps account for 903 crashes inside Springville, 20.3% of the city's total, and they are not part of the street ranking. I-15 itself had 891, with 25 serious or fatal and 2 deaths. Crashes below Utah's property-damage reporting threshold are not in UDOT's records, and the data stops at August 4, 2025.

Steps and Deadlines After a Springville Crash

The first source of payment for your medical care is usually your own personal injury protection, which in Utah covers at least $3,000 regardless of fault (Utah Code § 31A-22-307). A claim against the at-fault driver for pain and suffering requires an injury that satisfies § 31A-22-309, such as a fracture, permanent impairment or disfigurement, or more than $3,000 in medical bills; an uninsured motorist claim does not have to meet that test. When a hit-and-run driver is never identified, the vehicle is treated as uninsured (§ 31A-22-305(2)(b)). Your damages are reduced by your percentage of fault and barred if the other parties together were not more at fault than you (§ 78B-5-818). Most personal injury suits have a four-year deadline (§ 78B-2-307), but a claim that the city or the state left a road in an unsafe condition requires a written notice of claim within one year (§ 63G-7-402). Our Springville car accident page explains how these cases move forward, the Springville intersections page covers crashes involving people on foot and on bikes, and the statewide guides cover how fault is proven, PIP claims and the statute of limitations.

What Springville Crash Victims Can Recover

• Money you have spent or lost: hospital and clinic bills, prescriptions, physical therapy, missed paychecks, and the cost of repairing or replacing your car.
• Pain and lost enjoyment: physical pain, anxiety about driving, and the routines an injury interrupts.
• What the future holds: further medical care, lower earning ability, and household help when an injury lasts.

Counting Notes

Crash data: UDOT's public Crash_Locations records, every type of crash, January 1, 2018 to August 4, 2025, the last date available. Boundaries: UGRC's current municipal map, applied to every year in the period. Street matching: each crash went to the nearest UGRC Utah Roads segment within 35 meters, giving preference to the road named in the report; across the full data set that matched the officer's road about 89% of the time. Crashes at a junction of two ranked streets count toward just one. Serious or fatal: a reported death or suspected serious injury. Speed, motorcycle and teen-driver flags reflect the officer's report, not a finding of fault. Regional comparisons use the seven counties in the data. Every city we have ranked this way is listed on our statewide page, Utah’s most dangerous roads.
