Car Accidents in Texas
Every day in Texas, numerous vehicle collisions occur, with many resulting in injuries or property damage. According to state statistics, traffic accidents are one of the leading causes of injury, with accidents reported roughly every minute. In urban areas like Tyler, intersections are common sites for collisions, as multiple vehicles converge and right-of-way errors occur.
Accidents at intersections, such as the one at North Moore Avenue and West Selman Street, often stem from a variety of factors:
- Failure to Yield: Misunderstanding or ignoring right-of-way rules often causes intersection crashes, particularly when traffic volume is high.
- Driver Distraction: Activities like texting, eating, or adjusting controls inside the vehicle often contribute to accidents at busy junctions.
