This annual list of most dangerous intersections is provided by our attorneys to help keep Michigan drivers safe.

Every year, approximately one-third (30{c9b670b3c77d807bdd7060c9fc0a99121cc6b184676c9335f3481a95c383dd4c}) of all fatal motor vehicle accidents in Michigan occur at intersections.

Our list of Monroe County’s Most Dangerous Intersections reflects the latest car accident data available from 2022 on the top 10 interchanges with the highest number of reported car crashes. Our attorneys would like to thank the Michigan State Police Traffic Crash Reporting Unit for helping us by providing the car crash data that we use to identify these dangerous intersections.
