Car Accidents in Texas
Every day in Texas, hundreds of drivers are affected by motor vehicle crashes. Rural areas, like those surrounding Flint, see their share of collisions due to long stretches of road, high speeds, and limited visibility in some areas. In 2023, over 244,000 people were injured in traffic crashes statewide, according to the Texas Department of Transportation. These accidents range from minor fender benders to severe injury events.
Let’s take a closer look at how high speeds contribute to many crashes across the state:
-
Reduced Reaction Time: At higher speeds, drivers have less time to respond to unexpected events—such as a vehicle turning, an obstacle in the road, or a sudden stop ahead. This increases the likelihood of a serious crash.
-
Increased Impact Force: The faster a vehicle travels, the more energy it carries into a collision. This translates into more severe injuries and greater vehicle damage—even in crashes involving a single car.
-
Longer Stopping Distances: Higher speeds require more distance to stop. When drivers misjudge that distance or fail to brake early enough, rear-end crashes and intersection collisions become more likely.
-
Higher Risk of Rollovers: Vehicles traveling at high speeds, especially SUVs or trucks, are more prone to rollovers if they veer off the road or swerve sharply. Rollovers often result in severe injuries or fatalities.
-
Lower Margin for Error: When a driver is speeding, even minor mistakes—like drifting out of a lane or missing a turn—can quickly escalate into major accidents.
