Car Accidents in Texas
Texas consistently ranks among the states with the highest number of car accidents each year. With a vast network of highways and rural roads, collisions occur frequently, leading to injuries and fatalities. The Texas Department of Transportation reports that thousands of crashes happen annually, with many caused by preventable factors.
Some of the most common causes of car accidents include:
- Speeding: Driving above the speed limit reduces reaction time and increases the severity of crashes.
- Distracted Driving: Using a phone, eating, or engaging in other distractions while driving significantly raises the risk of an accident.
- Failure to Yield: Many accidents happen when drivers fail to yield at intersections or when merging onto highways.
- Impaired Driving: Alcohol and drug-related crashes remain a leading cause of severe injuries and fatalities on Texas roads.
- Weather Conditions: Rain, fog, and icy roads can create dangerous driving conditions, making it harder to maintain control of a vehicle.
