South Jordan's Most Dangerous Roads

South Jordan's crash records from UDOT, January 1, 2018 through August 4, 2025, were placed street by street. Each crash went to the road segment closest to where it was plotted, with the road named in the officer's report given priority. Interstate and ramp crashes, crashes in private lots and the few that could not be matched to a road sit outside the ranking. Serious or fatal means the report listed a death or a suspected serious injury.

Of the 7,294 crashes UDOT recorded inside South Jordan, only 221 were on I-15 or freeway ramps, just 3.0%. Another 156 were in private lots and 17 could not be matched, leaving 6,900 on city streets. 129 of those were serious or fatal and 13 people died. An injury of any level, possible injuries included, was reported in 32.4% of street crashes, about the same as the 32.1% across the seven counties (Salt Lake, Utah, Davis, Weber, Summit, Cache and Washington).

High Flag Rates, Lower Severity

1,015 street crashes (14.7%) carried a distraction flag and 948 (13.7%) a speed flag, against 9.8% and 8.4% across the seven counties. Rear-end collisions are 35.8% of the city's total (30.2% regionally), and a teen driver was involved in 30.6%. Speed still matters when outcomes are bad: it was flagged in 31 of the 129 serious or fatal crashes (24.0%).

The count has dropped. Street crashes fell from 1,284 in 2018 to 806 in 2024, with a COVID-era low of 733 in 2020, and serious or fatal crashes fell from 30 to 11. That runs against the seven counties, where serious or fatal street crashes rose from 844 in 2018 to 1,045 in 2024. Work zones stand out too: 463 South Jordan crashes were coded as work-zone related (6.7%), against 2.8% across the region.

Ten South Jordan Corridors, Ranked

Corridors are listed by the number of crashes recorded on them inside city limits. A crash where two listed roads meet is counted once, on the road the report names. The junctions named are each corridor's busiest by crash count.

• South Jordan Parkway (10400 South) — 1,012 crashes, 19 serious or fatal, 2 deaths. Rear-end crashes are 43.0% of the total; Redwood Road (56), Beckstead Lane (55) and Jordan Gateway (55) are its busiest junctions.
• 11400 South (SR-175) — 783 crashes, 12 serious or fatal, 2 deaths. More than half, 53.3%, are rear-end collisions, with Temple Drive (57) and 3600 West (45) leading.
• Bangerter Highway (3600 West, SR-154) — 687 crashes, 15 serious or fatal, 2 deaths. Speed was flagged in 151 of them, and 9800 South (111 crashes, 3 serious) is its busiest junction. UDOT estimates reach about 58,000 vehicles a day on this road.
• Redwood Road (1700 West, SR-68) — 626 crashes, 12 serious or fatal, 2 deaths. An older driver appears in 20.8% of its crashes, the highest share on this list, and Shields Lane (101) is its busiest junction.
• Daybreak Parkway (11400 South) — 352 crashes, 3 serious or fatal, no deaths. All 3 serious crashes came at its junction with Mountain View Highway, which had 56 crashes; 4000 West had 54.
• 4000 West — 284 crashes, 5 serious or fatal, no deaths. Side impacts are 47.9% of its crashes, the highest share among these ten, and Daybreak Parkway (54) is its busiest junction.
• Mountain View Highway (5400 West, SR-85) — 240 crashes, 5 serious or fatal, 1 death. 4 of the 5 serious crashes fall in UDOT's single-vehicle or not-applicable group; Daybreak Parkway (60) and South Jordan Parkway (45) lead its junctions.
• 11800 South — 190 crashes, 5 serious or fatal, 1 death. A teen driver was involved in 39.5% of them, more than on any other road here; 4000 West (21) and 3600 West (20) are its busiest crossings.
• Shields Lane (9800 South) — 185 crashes, 3 serious or fatal, no deaths. People on foot were part of 5 of its crashes, and 2200 West (19) is its busiest junction.
• Temple Drive (1300 West) — 160 crashes, 3 serious or fatal, no deaths. Commercial vehicles were in 6.9% of its crashes, the highest share among these ten, and 11400 South (31) is its busiest junction.

Together these ten corridors hold 4,519 of South Jordan's 6,900 street crashes (65.5%), 82 of the 129 serious or fatal crashes and 10 of the 13 deaths. Four of them, South Jordan Parkway, 11400 South, Bangerter Highway and Redwood Road, account for 58 of the serious crashes on their own.

Bangerter Moves Up When Severity Counts

Sorted by serious or fatal crashes, South Jordan Parkway stays first with 19, but Bangerter Highway rises from third to second with 15. 11400 South and Redwood Road share third with 12 each. Below them, 4000 West, Mountain View Highway and 11800 South have 5 apiece. Daybreak Parkway, fifth by volume, has only 3.

Rear-End Crashes and Young Drivers

Rear-end crashes lead South Jordan's count but rarely produce the worst injuries: 15 of the 129 serious or fatal crashes. Side impacts, 31.4% of all crashes, account for 57 of the serious ones (44.2%), and the group UDOT reports as single-vehicle or not applicable, which includes a vehicle striking a pedestrian, cyclist or fixed object, for 42. Pedestrians were in 75 crashes and 17 serious ones; motorcycles were in 115 and 26.

Teen drivers appear in 2,108 street crashes (30.6%, against 23.8% regionally) and 36 serious ones. Hit-and-runs are a little below the regional rate, 6.7% against 8.6%. Crashes on snow, ice or slush made up 6.9%, and the 5 p.m. hour was the busiest, with 747 crashes over the period. Sunday had the fewest, 457.

Bangerter's Interchanges, and Few Freeway Crashes

Freeway crashes are a small part of South Jordan's picture: 221 in all. The Bangerter Highway interchange ramps account for 130 of them, with 2 serious or fatal, and I-15 inside city limits for 81. None are in the ranking. The data also misses minor property-damage crashes below Utah's reporting threshold, crashes after August 4, 2025, and collisions no one reported.

Insurance and Fault After a South Jordan Collision

Your own personal injury protection is normally the first payer for medical care, at least $3,000 no matter who caused the crash (Utah Code § 31A-22-307). A claim against the at-fault driver for pain and other general damages requires an injury past the § 31A-22-309 threshold, for example a fracture, a permanent impairment or medical expenses over $3,000, and that threshold does not limit an uninsured motorist claim. A hit-and-run driver who is never identified counts as uninsured (§ 31A-22-305(2)(b)). Your damages are reduced by your share of fault and barred unless the others' combined fault is greater (§ 78B-5-818). Most injury lawsuits must be filed within four years (§ 78B-2-307), while a claim that the city or UDOT left a road dangerous needs a written notice of claim within one year (§ 63G-7-402). See our South Jordan car accident and South Jordan personal injury pages, South Jordan's most dangerous intersections for crashes involving people on foot and on bikes, and our guides to fault in rear-end crashes, proving fault, filing a PIP claim and Utah's filing deadlines.

What a South Jordan Claim Can Recover

• Out-of-pocket losses: the ambulance, ER and follow-up visits, therapy, medication, lost wages and the repair or replacement of your vehicle.
• Pain and lost routines: physical pain and the daily life an injury interrupts, from the commute to the kids' activities.
• Future needs: treatment still to come, diminished earning power and in-home help when an injury lingers.

Method and Sources for South Jordan

Source: UDOT's public crash records (Crash_Locations) covering all crash types from January 1, 2018 through August 4, 2025, when the public series ends. City limits come from UGRC's current municipal boundaries, applied to every year, so crashes in areas annexed later count as South Jordan. Each crash was matched to the nearest UGRC Utah Roads segment within 35 meters, favoring the officer's named road; statewide that matching agreed with the report in roughly nine of ten crashes. Serious or fatal covers fatal and suspected serious injury crashes. Flags record what officers noted, not who was at fault, and regional comparisons use the seven counties in this data. Every city we have ranked this way is listed on our statewide page, Utah’s most dangerous roads.
