Car Accidents in Texas
Texas roads see a high volume of traffic year-round, and with that comes a large number of crashes. In 2023, state records showed over 15,000 serious injury crashes. These incidents can turn an ordinary day into a life-altering event. Whether in urban areas or rural stretches like those in Cherokee County, no roadway is immune.
Understanding crash causes can help drivers stay alert. Here are some common factors that contribute to wrecks across the state:
- Driver Distraction: Using cell phones, eating, or adjusting vehicle controls often takes a driver’s attention away from the road. Even a brief lapse in focus can lead to a serious accident, especially on narrow or curving roads.
- Unsafe Passing or Merging: Improper lane changes or passing in no-passing zones can cause head-on or side-impact collisions. These crashes are often severe, particularly on two-lane rural roads where space is limited.
- Speeding: Driving above the posted speed limit reduces reaction time and increases the force of impact during a collision. It also affects a vehicle’s ability to stop in time, especially when unexpected obstacles appear.
- Driver Fatigue: Tired drivers pose risks similar to impaired drivers. Fatigue affects judgment, reaction time, and awareness. Many fatigue-related crashes occur in the early morning or late evening hours.
- Limited Visibility or Poor Lighting: Nighttime driving, bad weather, or roads without adequate lighting can all impair visibility. When drivers can’t clearly see the road or other vehicles, the chances of a collision go up.
