Car Accidents in Texas

Houston, TX – Collision Reported on East Fwy & Carroll Oliver WayTexas sees a high number of car accidents each year, with thousands of crashes occurring on city streets, highways, and rural roads. In 2022, the Texas Department of Transportation reported over 4,000 traffic-related fatalities and hundreds of thousands of injuries. Many of these accidents result from reckless driving, speeding, and impaired motorists.

Drivers should remain cautious on Texas roads. Below are some common causes of collisions:

  • Distracted Driving – Phones, navigation systems, and other distractions take attention away from the road, increasing the likelihood of a crash. Even a few seconds of inattention can lead to serious consequences.
  • Speeding – Excessive speeds reduce reaction time and increase the severity of crashes. Speed limits are set based on road conditions, and exceeding them puts everyone at risk.
  • Impaired Driving – Alcohol and drug use impair judgment, coordination, and reaction time. Drunk driving remains a leading cause of fatal crashes in Texas.
  • Weather Conditions – Rain, fog, and other weather conditions make driving more dangerous. Drivers should slow down and use extra caution in bad weather.
  • Failure to Yield – Many accidents happen at intersections due to drivers ignoring traffic signals, stop signs, or right-of-way rules.
