Tyler, TX (May 15, 2025) – A serious crash occurred late Tuesday afternoon at the intersection of North Palace Avenue and West Morris Street in Tyler. Emergency crews were called to the scene shortly before 4 p.m. on May 14 after receiving reports of a major traffic crash involving injuries.
First responders quickly secured the area and began evaluating those involved. At least one person was injured in the crash and was transported from the scene for medical treatment.

The crash remains under active investigation, and no further details about the number of vehicles or individuals involved have been released yet.
We hope those injured in this accident recover quickly.
Car Accidents in Texas
Texas has some of the busiest roadways in the country, and as a result, motor vehicle accidents are a daily reality. In 2023, the state saw thousands of crashes involving injuries at intersections and along major roads. These collisions often happen in urban centers like Tyler, where traffic is heavier and drivers face frequent stops and turns.
When accidents happen at intersections, several different legal issues and injuries may arise. Below are some of the most common legal challenges victims encounter:
- Disputed Liability: Intersections often result in disputes over who had the right of way. Insurance companies may argue over traffic signals, stop signs, or turning rules, which can complicate claims and delay settlements.
- Lack of Witnesses: If the crash occurs without clear witnesses or video evidence, it becomes one driver’s word against another. This can significantly affect the outcome of a claim and make legal representation more important.
- Uninsured Drivers: Some at-fault drivers lack proper insurance. Victims may have to rely on their own uninsured motorist coverage, which may still lead to disputes with their own provider.
- Multiple Parties Involved: Crashes involving more than two vehicles can lead to complex liability questions. It may take time to determine each driver’s role and share of responsibility.
- Delayed Injuries: Some injuries—like neck, back, or internal injuries—don’t surface until days after a crash. Victims may not realize the seriousness until symptoms worsen, which can affect claim timelines and medical documentation.
