Saginaw Car Accident Guide
Short answer: If you were in a wreck in Saginaw, see a provider who documents crash injuries within a few days, even if nothing hurts yet. Your PIP pays early bills regardless of fault. Keep the other insurer at arm's length: no recorded statement, no signatures, until a lawyer reviews it.
Three roads, most of the crashes
Saginaw Boulevard (Business 287), Blue Mound Road and Bailey Boswell Road had 1,485 of the 2,479 crashes inside Saginaw city limits from 2021 to 2025. Seven people died in crashes inside the city in that time.
| Road (inside Saginaw) | Crashes | Deaths |
|---|---|---|
| Business 287 (Saginaw Blvd) | 795 | 1 |
| FM 156 (Blue Mound Rd) | 371 | 2 |
| Bailey Boswell Rd | 319 | 3 |
The light at Bailey Boswell Road and Saginaw Boulevard ranked as the worst urban intersection in the U.S. for signal delay in an INRIX study, 110 seconds per vehicle. That's waiting time, not crashes, but long queues are where rear-end crashes start. Across Saginaw and the area within 15 miles of its city limits, 130,071 crashes were reported, and 25.9% were rear-end type.
