Car Accidents in Texas
Car accidents are a leading cause of injuries across Texas, with thousands of crashes occurring each year. The Texas Department of Transportation reports that in recent years, the state has seen an alarming number of collisions, many of which result in serious injuries or fatalities. Factors such as high speeds, distracted driving, and impaired motorists contribute to many of these accidents.
Understanding common types of car accidents can help drivers remain cautious on the road:
- Rear-End Collisions: These occur when one vehicle crashes into the back of another. Often caused by distracted driving, tailgating, or sudden stops, these accidents frequently result in whiplash and other neck injuries.
- Side-Impact Crashes: Also known as T-bone accidents, these happen when a vehicle strikes the side of another. They often occur at intersections and can cause severe injuries due to limited side protection in most vehicles.
- Head-On Collisions: Among the most dangerous types of accidents, head-on crashes typically occur when a driver crosses into oncoming traffic. These incidents often result in severe or fatal injuries.
- Rollover Accidents: These accidents involve a vehicle tipping over onto its side or roof. They are more common in SUVs and trucks and can lead to serious injuries, especially if occupants are not wearing seat belts.
- Multi-Vehicle Pileups: These crashes involve multiple vehicles and can cause significant damage and injuries, often due to chain reactions on highways or in poor weather conditions.
