Fatal Car Accidents in Texas
Fatal crashes in Texas are often caused by several preventable factors, including distracted driving, impaired driving, and speeding. Texas roads see high traffic daily, and with this increased activity comes a heightened risk of accidents. Distracted driving, especially due to mobile phone use, is one of the most common causes of fatal crashes. Similarly, drunk driving remains a prevalent problem, leading to a significant number of deaths each year.
Speeding is another dangerous factor that contributes to the severity of crashes. High-speed collisions often result in more severe injuries and fatalities, especially on highways and rural roads.
