Car Accidents in Texas
Texas continues to see high numbers of car accidents each year, with thousands of serious injuries reported across the state. According to the Texas Department of Transportation, nearly 19,000 people suffered serious injuries in vehicle crashes in 2023. Accidents happen on busy city streets and rural roads alike, and every incident underscores the importance of safe driving practices.
Here are some common contributing factors drivers in Texas should stay aware of:
- Distracted Driving: From phone use to multitasking behind the wheel, distractions play a major role in many Texas collisions. Drivers may only take their eyes off the road for a few seconds, but that’s often enough to cause an accident. Campaigns across the state continue urging drivers to stay focused while driving.
- Speeding: Higher speeds often mean more serious crashes. Driving too fast makes it harder to stop in time or react to sudden obstacles. It also increases the likelihood of injuries for everyone involved, including passengers and pedestrians.
- Fatigue: Drivers who are tired may drift between lanes, miss traffic signals, or fall asleep altogether. Fatigue-related crashes often occur during early morning hours or long-distance travel.
- Poor Weather: Slick roads, limited visibility, and strong winds can make driving more dangerous. Drivers are encouraged to slow down and give extra space, but failure to do so results in many preventable accidents each year.
