In 2021, 2,480 crashes were the result of distracted driving. These accidents can include texting, using social media or playing with apps or the radio inside the car. 562 pedestrians were involved in a car accident in Wayne County, resulting in 481 injuries and tragically 62 deaths.

Wayne County is the most populous county in Michigan, so naturally it has more crashes and injuries due to car, truck, and motorcycle accidents. And Westland gets its fair share of these accidents.

Dangerous Intersections in Westland

Westland is mostly a residential community, but naturally it does have busy commercial areas. This particularly true along Ford Road. In fact, Ford Rd. and Wayne Rd. is one of the most dangerous intersections in the city. Other dangerous intersections include Ford Rd and Newburgh Rd. and Warren Rd and Newburgh.

These areas are dangerous because there are lots of cars stopping to turn into shopping malls and restaurants. Traffic also causes backups. When people are not paying attention, rear-end collision can occur. Drivers who texting while driving or using their cell phones while driving also run red lights or fail to yield to oncoming traffic.

Motorists who fail to obey the law are guilty of negligence if they cause a crash. And under Michigan law, they may be held responsible for paying compensation for any injuries that arise out of the accident.
