a one month time period. Cars collide at St. George’s second-most
dangerous intersection, St. George News, July 6, 2019. Sunset Blvd and Dixie Drive is St. George’s
second most dangerous intersection (35 accidents occurred at this intersection
during the same time period). Id.
Many of these crashes are caused by drivers making left hand turns who
fail to yield the right of way to on-coming traffic.

Trailblazer was cited for failing to yield on a left-hand turn causing a collision
with a Kia Rio. Id. Unfortunately,
the driver of the Kia was transported by ambulance to Dixie Regional Medical

We certainly hope that the driver of the Kia has a complete and quick
recovery. Living with the misery of
broken bones, damaged discs or whiplash certainly takes some joy out of
living. We get it.
