Bluffdale's Most Dangerous Roads

The ranking below comes from UDOT's crash records for Bluffdale, January 1, 2018 through August 4, 2025. Each crash was placed on the street where it happened using the state road map, with the officer's own description of the road breaking close calls. I-15 and freeway-ramp crashes appear in their own section, crashes on private property are not ranked, and a crash is serious or fatal when the report lists a death or a suspected serious injury.

The records hold 2,444 crashes inside the city. Of those, 417 were on I-15 or a freeway ramp, 47 were on private property and 9 could not be matched to a road, which leaves 1,971 street crashes. Only 33 of them, 1.7%, were serious or fatal (2.6% regionally), and 4 people died in 4 crashes.

Crashes More Than Doubled Since 2018

Year by year the count climbed: 157, 170, 147, 243, 266, 323 and 405. January through early August 2025 already held 260. Across the seven counties, non-freeway crashes went the other way, from 41,657 in 2018 to 37,964 in 2024.

Serious crashes did not climb with the total. The records show between 3 and 7 a year from 2019 through 2024, and only 1 in 2018, a low figure this page does not treat as a trend. The growth itself is concentrated: Porter Rockwell Boulevard went from 11 crashes in 2018 to 107 in 2024.

Rear-End Crashes, Animals and Work Zones

Bluffdale's crash mix is unusual. Rear-end crashes were 43.4% of the total, second-highest among the 57 cities (30.2% regionally), while side-impact crashes were 18.3%, the lowest of the 57. Driveway crashes, at 2.0%, were less common than in any other city. A wild animal was involved in 100 crashes (5.1%), fifth-highest of the 57, and 86 were coded as work-zone crashes (4.4%, sixth-highest).

In the serious crashes, a driver who ignored a signal or sign was flagged 9 times out of 33 (27.3%), second-highest of the 57 (12.3% regionally), and side-impact crashes were 14 of the 33. Older drivers appeared in only 8.7% of crashes, among the four lowest shares (14.9% regionally).

Counted Apart: I-15 and Its Ramps

I-15 had 391 crashes inside Bluffdale, 3 serious or fatal, and 1 death. The Bangerter Highway interchange ramps added 21, 2 of them serious. Freeways and ramps were 17.1% of the city's crashes (21.4% across the seven counties). Property-damage crashes below Utah's reporting threshold are not in the records, so every count here is a floor.

Claims, Coverage and the Clock in Bluffdale

In a rear-end crash or any other, your own personal injury protection pays first, with at least $3,000 in medical benefits regardless of fault (Utah Code § 31A-22-307). A claim against the other driver for pain and other general damages requires an injury past the § 31A-22-309 threshold, such as a broken bone, permanent impairment or medical expenses over $3,000; that limit does not apply to uninsured motorist claims. When the at-fault driver leaves and is never identified, the vehicle is treated as uninsured (§ 31A-22-305(2)(b)). Any fault of your own reduces your recovery, which is barred unless the others' combined fault is greater (§ 78B-5-818). Most injury lawsuits must be filed within four years (§ 78B-2-307); a claim that a state or city road was unsafe requires a written notice of claim within one year (§ 63G-7-402). Our Bluffdale car accident page covers local claims, and our post on rear-end collision fault explains how those cases are decided. The guides cover how fault is proven, PIP claims and filing deadlines.

The Damages Side of a Claim

• Care and lost work: emergency and follow-up treatment, physical therapy, imaging, and the paychecks an injury costs you.
• Personal toll: pain, stress and sleep problems, and the plans and activities you have to set aside.
• Later costs: treatment still ahead, any lasting loss of earning ability, and vehicle repair or replacement.
