Tyler, TX (July 27, 2025) – Authorities in Tyler are investigating a hit-and-run crash that occurred on the evening of July 26 involving at least one vehicle in the 400 block of South Beckham Avenue near Noble Street.
According to initial information from the Tyler Police Department, the incident happened at around 7:16 p.m. Emergency crews were dispatched to the scene after receiving reports of a vehicle fleeing the location following a crash. The circumstances that led to the collision are still under review.

Car Accidents in Texas
Texas sees a significant number of vehicle crashes each year. According to the Texas Department of Transportation, one reportable crash occurred every 57 seconds across the state. Hit-and-run accidents are especially troubling due to the challenges victims face in pursuing compensation and justice. Tyler and other East Texas cities continue to experience a high volume of these incidents, particularly in busy intersections and near downtown districts.
Understanding how injuries can affect victims long-term is essential. Here are several common outcomes:
- Neck and back injuries: Whiplash and spinal damage are among the most common results of vehicle collisions. These injuries can take weeks or even months to resolve and may require ongoing therapy or surgical intervention.
- Fractures and broken bones: The force of impact often causes bone breaks, particularly in the arms, legs, ribs, and hips. Recovery times vary based on severity, and some victims face permanent mobility issues.
- Head trauma: Even seemingly minor collisions can cause concussions or traumatic brain injuries (TBI). Victims may experience memory issues, mood swings, or prolonged headaches, requiring neurological care.
- Emotional distress: The mental and emotional toll of an accident is often underestimated. Victims may suffer from anxiety, depression, or PTSD, particularly in hit-and-run situations where accountability is delayed.
- Soft tissue damage: Muscle tears, bruising, and ligament injuries can limit movement and daily activities. While often considered minor, these can become chronic issues if not treated correctly.
- Internal injuries: In some cases, blunt-force trauma leads to organ damage or internal bleeding. These injuries may not be immediately noticeable but can be life-threatening without swift medical attention.
