Car Accidents in Texas
Car accidents are an unfortunate reality on Texas roadways, with many crashes occurring daily across the state. In 2022, the Texas Department of Transportation reported over 19,400 serious injury accidents. Intersections like University Boulevard and East Southeast Loop 323 can be especially hazardous as multiple lanes of traffic converge.
Collisions often happen due to a variety of contributing factors. Below are some common causes of car accidents in Texas:
- Distracted Driving: Using cell phones, eating, or engaging in other distractions takes a driver’s focus away from the road, increasing the likelihood of a crash.
- Speeding: Driving above the speed limit or too fast for road conditions reduces a driver’s ability to react to sudden hazards, leading to accidents.
- Unsafe Lane Changes: Failing to check blind spots or signal intentions when changing lanes often results in side-impact collisions.
- Tailgating: Following other vehicles too closely makes it nearly impossible to avoid a collision in the event of sudden braking.
