The Brief

    • Michigan Auto Law released its top 20 list of most dangerous state-wide intersections.
    • Eighteen of the top 20 were in SE Michigan, with roundabouts showing up multiple times in the list.
    • The list was compiled from crash data from the year 2025.

FOX 2 - A newly released list of Michigan's most dangerous intersections based off crash data are comprised of nearly all Southeast Michigan locations.

Big picture view:

Michigan Auto Law collected and analyzed crash data from the Michigan State Police Traffic Crash Reporting Unit, which compiles vehicle accident reports throughout Michigan. 

Four of the top six dangerous intersections in Michigan were roundabouts according to statistics, with just two west Michigan intersections making the top-20 cut, in Grand Rapids.

By the numbers:

Every year, nearly one-third of all car crashes in Michigan, and approximately 30% of all fatal car crashes, occur at intersections.

The new 2025 findings represent the most current and comprehensive data available for total crashes occurring at or near intersections across the state.

"Even when a crash doesn't result in an injury, it can have a significant impact on a driver and their family," said  Steve Gursten, President and Attorney at Michigan Auto Law, in a statement. "We hope this annual list encourages Michigan drivers to slow down, remain alert, and take extra precautions when traveling through these areas."
