SALT LAKE CITY, UT – A driver of a car made an unsafe U-turn resulting in a crash Friday morning.
The collision took place in the area of 1000 West 400 South, ABC 4 reported. Upon impact, the driver of the passenger vehicle collided with a silver car.
The U-turn was deemed unsafe because Utah State Code Section 802 states that no driver can make a U-turn based on the following:
- “On any curve, or upon the approach to, or near the crest of a grade, if the vehicle is not visible at a distance of 500 feet by the operator of any other vehicle approaching from either direction;
- on a railroad track or railroad-grade crossing;
- unless the movement can be made safely and without interfering with other traffic; the driver of the vehicle will be cited for making the improper.”
As a result, the driver of the passenger vehicle was cited for making the improper U-turn.
Minor injuries were reported, but police did not specify if both drivers were hurt or if only one person sustained injuries.
