Car Accidents in Texas
Texas sees a high number of traffic collisions each year, with major roadways like Loop 323 in Tyler being frequent sites of accidents. The Texas Department of Transportation reports that in a recent year, more than 19,000 serious injury crashes occurred statewide. Many of these crashes take place at busy intersections where drivers must navigate heavy traffic, merging lanes, and signal changes.
Intersection accidents like this one can result in severe injuries. Here are some of the most common reasons these crashes occur:
- Failure to Yield – Many drivers misjudge the right-of-way at intersections, leading to dangerous collisions. This is especially common when turning left across oncoming traffic.
- Distracted Driving – Using a phone, adjusting the radio, or looking away from the road for even a moment can result in a crash. Distractions are a leading cause of intersection accidents.
- Speeding – Drivers who approach intersections too quickly may not have time to react to changing traffic signals or vehicles in their path, increasing the likelihood of a crash.
- Running Red Lights – Disregarding traffic signals is one of the top causes of severe accidents at intersections. Drivers who run red lights often collide with cross-traffic at high speeds.
- Poor Visibility – Weather conditions, sun glare, or obstructed views due to other vehicles can prevent drivers from seeing potential hazards until it’s too late.
Even a seemingly minor crash at an intersection can lead to serious injuries, such as broken bones, concussions, or spinal damage. Seeking medical attention and legal guidance after an accident can be crucial for recovery.
