Wrong-Way Driver Crashes: Fault, Insurance Tactics, and Family Responsibility...

Hosts Tyler Todd and Jaren Sandberg discuss the rise and catastrophic nature of wrong-way freeway crashes in Utah, often involving impairment or confused elderly drivers, and why determining fault can become complicated when insurance companies argue victims should have avoided the collision. They describe a prior case involving an elderly driver and highlight the difficulty families face in legally taking away keys without court authority, despite Utah’s voluntary comprehensive driving evaluation program.
