The 20 most dangerous intersections in Michigan and how many crashes happened at each

Officials have revealed the 20 most dangerous intersections in Michigan and how many crashes, injuries, and deaths happened at each last year.

Michigan Auto Law uses data from Michigan State Police to rank the most dangerous intersections in the state each year. On Tuesday, the rankings from 2023 were revealed.

“Michigan Auto Law’s goal is to give drivers the information they need to make safe decisions for themselves and their families, whether that means taking an alternative route or being extra cautious while traveling through one of the intersections on the list,” the release said.

Any road with a traffic signal, a four-way stop, or a roundabout qualifies as an intersection. Crashes within 200 feet count toward an intersection’s total.

1. 11 Mile Road/I-696 and Van Dyke Avenue in Warren/Center Line.
