Local roads. Local courthouse. Local insurer behavior. Draper anchors the Point of the Mountain — the steepest grade on I-15 and a notorious crash zone, particularly in winter inversion fog. Tech-corridor traffic plus prison-relocation construction has made this one of the highest-volume stretches in Utah.

Local context · Draper ## What we see on Draper roads. Draper sits on the geographic line between Salt Lake County and Utah County — the Point of the Mountain. That grade is the most chronic stretch of crash-producing freeway in Utah. Winter inversion fog can drop visibility to ten feet at the Bluffdale exit, and high-energy multi-vehicle pile-ups (often 20+ vehicles) are a near-annual event there. Day to day, Draper's other crash drivers are the Bangerter Highway terminus at I-15, the new Prison-relocation construction zones, and 12300 South retail traffic past Lone Peak Hospital. The Lehi-bound tech commute pours through Draper twice a day and meaningfully extends the high-volume window. Draper is roughly halfway between our Provo office and downtown Salt Lake — 25 minutes either direction. Lone Peak Hospital is one of the closest acute-care facilities and handles a large share of Draper crash patients; we work with their records team frequently. Draper crash hotspot ### I-15 ‘Point of the Mountain’ grade (mileposts 290–293) This is the steepest sustained grade on I-15 in Utah, and the most chronic crash zone on the Salt Lake-to-Utah-County connector. Inversion fog, sudden weather transitions, and tight ramp geometry at 14600 South / Bluffdale produce a recurring pattern of multi-vehicle pile-ups every winter.
