Motor Vehicle Accidents in Idaho
The distinctive terrain of Idaho poses particular difficulties when it comes to traffic accidents. Of course, there are plenty of both urban and rural locations where accidents occur in our state, but due to larger population densities, accidents take place more often in metropolitan locations. That said, due to the often faster speeds involved on winding backroads or long highways, with fewer emergency response services, accidents in rural areas can have more serious consequences.
Accidents may also be caused by poor road conditions. These accidents are more likely to occur under harsh weather conditions, such as snow and ice in the winter. Furthermore, poorly maintained roads might include risks for vehicles, such as potholes and uneven surfaces, which can result in crashes.
