Car Accidents in Texas
Texas sees a staggering number of traffic incidents each year. In 2023 alone, over 4,000 people lost their lives in motor vehicle crashes across the state. Even more concerning, nearly 20,000 suffered serious injuries. These collisions happen on highways, backroads, and everywhere in between—proving that no stretch of road is immune to danger.
To better understand the risks, let’s take a look at common contributing factors behind many of these crashes:
- Distracted Driving: One of the leading causes of crashes in Texas, distracted driving includes texting, eating, using in-vehicle systems, or any activity that takes a driver’s attention off the road. These few seconds of distraction can have life-altering consequences.
- Speeding: Exceeding posted speed limits or driving too fast for road conditions greatly increases the likelihood of a crash. Higher speeds reduce reaction time and make it harder to control a vehicle during sudden maneuvers.
- Driving Under the Influence: Alcohol and drugs impair motor skills and decision-making. Despite widespread public awareness, DUI-related crashes continue to claim lives across the state.
- Fatigue: Drivers who are overly tired often exhibit behavior similar to impaired drivers. Drowsy driving can result in slower reaction times, poor judgment, and in severe cases, falling asleep at the wheel.
- Aggressive Driving: Tailgating, weaving through traffic, and road rage incidents often escalate situations that could have otherwise been minor. This kind of behavior makes roads more dangerous for everyone.
