Car Accidents in Texas
Texas is home to some of the nation’s busiest roadways, and with that comes a high volume of vehicle collisions. Each year, the state reports well over 600,000 crashes, with thousands of those leading to serious injuries or fatalities. Texas drivers must stay alert and cautious to reduce the risk of harm while traveling on public roads.
To better understand what can lead to a car crash in Texas, here are several common causes:
- Distracted Driving: Texting, eating, or adjusting the radio can all take a driver’s eyes off the road—even for just a moment. Distractions are a leading cause of crashes and can turn routine trips into emergencies. Staying focused behind the wheel is critical.
- Speeding: Driving above the posted speed limit reduces a motorist’s ability to stop quickly or react to sudden changes. Speed-related crashes often result in more severe injuries because of the increased force on impact.
- Running Red Lights or Stop Signs: Intersections are high-risk areas, especially when drivers fail to obey traffic signals. T-bone collisions are particularly common and can cause serious injuries to drivers and passengers alike.
- Impaired Driving: Alcohol and drug use continue to contribute to roadway tragedies across Texas. Impaired reaction times and poor judgment put everyone on the road at risk.
- Reckless Lane Changes: Failing to signal, weaving through traffic, or cutting off other drivers creates dangerous conditions. These behaviors often lead to sideswipe crashes or pileups in busy areas.
- Fatigue: Driving while tired can be just as dangerous as impaired driving. Exhausted motorists may drift between lanes, miss signals, or fall asleep entirely.
