Car Accidents in Texas

Texas sees thousands of car accidents each year, with urban areas like Houston experiencing high traffic-related injury rates. In 2023 alone, Texas reported over 15,000 serious injury crashes, emphasizing the importance of safe driving practices.

Many factors contribute to crashes, including:

• Intersection Collisions – Many crashes occur at intersections due to failure to yield, running red lights, or misjudging right-of-way.
• Rear-End Accidents – Following too closely can lead to rear-end collisions, especially in heavy traffic.
• Impaired Driving – Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs remains a leading cause of serious accidents.
• Road Hazards – Poor road conditions, debris, or construction zones can lead to sudden crashes.
• Fatigue – Drowsy driving impairs reaction times and awareness, increasing crash risks.
