Car Accidents in Texas
In 2023, thousands of Texans were injured in crashes at major intersections and highways across the state. These accidents occur frequently due to high traffic volumes, distracted driving, and failure to yield. According to the Texas Department of Transportation, nearly 20% of serious injury collisions occur in intersection zones.
Let’s talk about a few common types of auto accidents seen at intersections across Texas:
-
Rear-End Collisions: These are common at stoplights and stop signs when a driver fails to stop in time. Distracted driving, tailgating, and speeding are often factors. Injuries can include whiplash, back strain, and head trauma.
-
Side-Impact or “T-Bone” Crashes: These happen when one vehicle hits the side of another, often due to running a red light or failing to yield. These crashes can be especially dangerous due to limited side protection in many vehicles.
-
Left-Turn Accidents: Crashes involving vehicles turning left across oncoming traffic often occur when drivers misjudge speed or fail to yield. These collisions can cause serious front-end and side-impact damage.
-
Multi-Vehicle Pileups: Busy intersections often see chain-reaction collisions where more than two vehicles are involved. These types of crashes complicate fault determination and may lead to multiple injuries.
-
Pedestrian-Involved Accidents: Intersections are high-risk areas for pedestrians. Accidents often happen when drivers fail to observe crosswalks or turn without checking for foot traffic.
