Car Accidents in Texas
Texas roads see a high volume of traffic accidents, with thousands of injury crashes occurring each year. According to the Texas Department of Transportation, in 2022, there were over 15,000 serious injury crashes across the state. Many of these incidents happen at intersections, where driver errors, speeding, or failure to yield contribute to collisions.
Understanding key factors that play a role in accidents can help drivers stay safe:
- Intersection Dangers – Many crashes occur at intersections due to misjudged right-of-way, running red lights, or making improper turns. Drivers should approach intersections with caution and remain alert to their surroundings.
- Speeding Risks – Excessive speed reduces reaction time and increases the severity of crashes. Even a small increase in speed can make a significant difference in the force of impact.
- Driver Distractions – Texting, eating, or adjusting in-car controls can take a driver’s attention away from the road for critical seconds, leading to preventable collisions.
- Nighttime Driving Hazards – Reduced visibility and driver fatigue contribute to a higher risk of crashes at night. Headlights, proper following distance, and defensive driving can help mitigate risks.
