Multi-Vehicle Accidents in Texas
Interstate crashes are a frequent occurrence in Texas, with the state’s vast highway network seeing thousands of collisions each year. According to the Texas Department of Transportation, more than 15,000 crashes involving multiple vehicles happen annually on Texas highways, often leading to severe injuries or fatalities. Factors such as high-speed travel, heavy traffic, and unpredictable driving conditions contribute to the frequency of these incidents.
Common causes of multi-vehicle accidents include:
- Distracted Driving: Drivers who take their eyes off the road, even for a moment, can cause chain-reaction collisions, especially in congested areas.
- Following Too Closely: Tailgating reduces reaction time and increases the likelihood of rear-end crashes when sudden stops occur.
- Sudden Lane Changes: Unsafe lane changes on highways can lead to side-swipe accidents, causing multiple vehicles to crash.
- Weather Conditions: Rain, fog, or ice can make roadways slick, reducing traction and visibility for drivers.
- Speeding: Excessive speed makes it harder to stop in time, increasing the severity of collisions when accidents occur.
