Car Accidents in Texas
Texas consistently ranks among the top states for the number of traffic collisions and injuries each year. With large cities, rural highways, and busy intersections, Texas roadways carry significant traffic volumes—and with that comes risk. Thousands of people are hurt annually in crashes that could have been avoided. Understanding the dangers on Texas roads can help drivers make better decisions behind the wheel.
Below are several types of vehicle collisions that frequently occur across the state:
- Rear-End Collisions: Often caused by following too closely or distracted driving, rear-end crashes are one of the most common types of accidents. These collisions can happen in slow traffic, at stoplights, or during sudden braking situations. They may result in whiplash, back injuries, or head trauma depending on the force of impact.
- T-Bone (Side-Impact) Accidents: These occur when one vehicle hits the side of another, typically at intersections. T-bone crashes are especially dangerous because the sides of vehicles have less protection. Injuries from side-impact crashes can be severe and often require lengthy recovery.
- Head-On Collisions: Head-on crashes are among the deadliest types of accidents. They usually result from wrong-way driving, loss of control, or passing on undivided roads. Even at moderate speeds, the force of a head-on impact can be catastrophic.
- Single-Vehicle Crashes :Not all wrecks involve multiple drivers. Single-vehicle accidents can be caused by slick roads, wildlife, mechanical issues, or loss of control. These accidents may still lead to serious injuries, especially if a rollover or fixed-object impact is involved.
