Two-Vehicle Crashes in Texas
Two-vehicle collisions are among the most common types of accidents in Texas. These wrecks often occur at intersections, stop signs, or on highways, and can involve head-on, rear-end, or side-impact crashes. According to state data, thousands of Texas residents suffer injuries every year in crashes involving just two vehicles.
The following are some of the primary factors in these types of wrecks:
- Failure to Yield: When one driver misjudges another vehicle’s right of way, especially at intersections or during left-hand turns, it can lead to a crash. These accidents often occur when drivers are in a hurry or unfamiliar with the area.
- Distracted Driving: Cell phone use, in-car conversations, or other distractions reduce the likelihood of a driver reacting in time to avoid a collision. Even a few seconds of inattention can lead to rear-end or T-bone impacts.
- Improper Lane Changes: Sudden lane changes without signaling or checking mirrors can cause sideswipe accidents. These crashes can lead to secondary impacts or cause vehicles to leave the roadway altogether.
- Impaired Driving: Alcohol or drug use continues to play a role in many two-vehicle wrecks across Texas. Impaired drivers are more likely to ignore traffic laws, leading to high-speed or wrong-way crashes.
- Following Too Closely: Tailgating leaves little room to react in the event of sudden braking. This often leads to rear-end accidents, especially in congested areas or during stop-and-go traffic conditions.
