Single-vehicle crashes are not uncommon in Michigan, and the factors that lead to it are the same as other forms of accidents. Based on accident reports, these factors include speeding, drunk and reckless driving, running red lights, and taking curves extremely fast.
Distracted driving in forms of texting, calling, eating, and having heated discussions also cause single-vehicle crashes. Traffic officials advise motorists, especially young drivers, to keep their focus while driving and obey the rules of each roadway.
