Texas Highway Accidents
Texas highways are among the busiest in the country, and accidents on major routes like U.S. 75 happen frequently. In a recent year, more than 600,000 crashes occurred across the state, with thousands of people suffering injuries. Many of these crashes happen during morning and evening commutes when traffic is heavy.
Here are some common causes of highway accidents:
- Speeding and Aggressive Driving – Drivers who exceed the speed limit or make sudden lane changes increase the risk of collisions, especially during rush hour.
- Following Too Closely – Tailgating is a leading cause of rear-end crashes. Maintaining a safe following distance helps prevent accidents.
- Merging Issues – High-speed merging can be dangerous, especially when drivers fail to check blind spots or yield properly.
- Distracted Driving – Looking at a phone, adjusting the radio, or even eating while driving can take attention away from the road, leading to accidents.
- Weather Conditions – Rain, fog, and ice can make highways more hazardous. Reduced visibility and slippery roads increase the likelihood of crashes.
