Pleasant Grove's Most Dangerous Roads

Every crash in UDOT's public crash records that sits inside Pleasant Grove's current city limits was tied to the street where it happened, using the state road map and the street the reporting officer listed. The totals below are for streets, not single intersections. The few freeway and ramp crashes inside the city are covered separately, and parking-lot and other private-property crashes do not count toward any street. A crash is serious or fatal when the report recorded a death or a suspected serious injury.

UDOT recorded 3,710 crashes in Pleasant Grove. Of those, 82 were on I-15 or its ramps, 92 on private property and 11 could not be matched to a street, leaving 3,525 street crashes. 57 were serious or fatal, 1.6%, compared with 2.6% for street crashes in the seven counties these figures come from (Salt Lake, Utah, Davis, Weber, Summit, Cache and Washington). 5 people died.

Mostly Minor Crashes, With State Street the Exception

State Street (US-89) recorded 697 crashes, the most of any street in the city, and 3.3% of them were serious or fatal, the highest share among Pleasant Grove's fifteen busiest streets. Side impacts account for 15 of its 23 serious or fatal crashes. Its junction with Main Street stands out: 71 crashes on State Street's side of the count and 61 on Main Street's, 132 together, with 5 serious or fatal.

The street's serious crashes have also picked up recently. It had between 1 and 4 serious or fatal crashes in each full year from 2018 through 2024, then 6 from January through August 4, 2025, alone. Across the rest of Pleasant Grove's streets the picture is calmer: the remaining 2,828 street crashes produced 34 serious or fatal ones.

Your Coverage and Rights After a Pleasant Grove Crash

Utah's no-fault system starts with your own personal injury protection, which must pay at least $3,000 of medical costs whoever caused the crash (Utah Code § 31A-22-307). To recover pain and suffering from the driver at fault, your injury generally has to meet § 31A-22-309, for example a fracture, a permanent impairment or disfigurement, or medical expenses above $3,000, though uninsured motorist claims are not subject to that limit. If the other driver flees and is never identified, the car is treated as uninsured (§ 31A-22-305(2)(b)). Any share of fault assigned to you reduces your award, and you recover nothing unless the others' combined fault is greater than yours (§ 78B-5-818). Most injury cases must be filed within four years (§ 78B-2-307); a claim that the city or state let a road become unsafe needs a written notice of claim within one year (§ 63G-7-402). For more, see our Pleasant Grove car accident and personal injury pages, the Pleasant Grove intersections page for crashes involving people on foot and on bikes, and the guides to proving fault, filing for PIP and the filing deadline.

Recoverable Losses in a Pleasant Grove Case

• Bills and lost income: emergency treatment, follow-up appointments, therapy, time off work, and fixing or replacing your vehicle.
• Pain and disruption: physical pain, fear on the road, and the parts of daily life the injury put on hold.
• Longer-term harm: treatment you will still need, earnings you may lose, and help at home for an injury that does not fully heal.

Where the Numbers Come From

Records come from UDOT's public Crash_Locations file, every crash type, January 1, 2018 through August 4, 2025, the end of the published data. City limits are UGRC's current municipal boundaries, used for all years. Each crash was matched to the nearest UGRC Utah Roads segment within 35 meters, preferring the road the officer named; that match agreed with the officer's road for about 89% of crashes overall. A crash at the meeting point of two ranked streets is counted once, on one of them. Serious or fatal covers reported deaths and suspected serious injuries. Flags such as distracted or aggressive driving are what the officer recorded, not a determination of fault. 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.
