Car Accidents in Texas

Traffic accidents are a major concern across Texas. The Texas Department of Transportation reported over 600,000 crashes in 2022, with thousands of people suffering serious injuries. Many collisions stem from distracted driving, speeding, and reckless behavior behind the wheel.

Understanding the dangers of Texas roadways is crucial for drivers. Below are some common factors contributing to car accidents:

• Driver Fatigue: Tired drivers have slower reaction times and impaired judgment, increasing the risk of accidents. Fatigue-related crashes are particularly common in the early morning and late at night.
• Speeding and Aggressive Driving: Exceeding the speed limit reduces the ability to react to sudden changes in traffic conditions. Speeding also increases the severity of crashes, leading to more serious injuries.
• Distracted Driving: Using a phone, eating, or engaging in other distractions while driving diverts attention from the road, leading to accidents. Even a momentary lapse in focus can result in a collision.
• Failure to Obey Traffic Signals: Running red lights or ignoring stop signs can cause dangerous T-bone and intersection crashes, leading to severe injuries.
• Adverse Weather Conditions: Rain, fog, and other weather-related factors can make roads slippery and reduce visibility, leading to a higher risk of accidents.
