Pedestrian Accidents in Texas
Pedestrian accidents are a growing concern in Texas, where thousands of people are injured in traffic-related incidents each year. In 2022 alone, Texas reported over 5,000 pedestrian-involved crashes, many resulting in severe injuries or fatalities. Highways and major roadways can be especially dangerous due to high speeds and limited pedestrian crossings.
Some common causes of pedestrian accidents include:
- Poor Visibility – Many crashes occur at night when pedestrians are harder to see, especially on poorly lit roads.
- Failure to Yield – Drivers may not stop at crosswalks or intersections, leading to serious collisions.
- Distracted Driving – Looking at a phone, eating, or adjusting the radio can cause drivers to overlook pedestrians.
- Speeding – Higher speeds reduce reaction time and increase the severity of pedestrian injuries.
