MAP: Michigan's most dangerous intersections based on crash data
(FOX 2) - The bulk of Michigan's most dangerous intersections are in Metro Detroit, according to a new list complied by using crash data from last year.
Michigan Auto Law looked at police records from 2024 to determine the 20 most dangerous intersections. According to the law firm, most crashes at intersections in the state tend to happen in areas with heavy traffic near freeways or busy shopping plazas. Of the 20 intersections on the new list, five are roundabouts.

Last year, more than 56,000 crashes with deer were reported in Michigan.
"The goal of this report isn't to alarm drivers, but to help them stay informed and safe," said Steve Gursten, the president and an attorney at Michigan Auto Law. "When drivers understand where these dangerous intersections are, and what behaviors contribute to crashes, they can make smarter, safer decisions behind the wheel. Knowledge is one of the most powerful tools we have for preventing accidents."
