Car Accidents in Texas
Texas leads the nation in traffic fatalities, with thousands of crashes reported annually across the state. Last year, over 239,000 people were injured in vehicle collisions, with many requiring extensive medical care. Urban areas like Houston often experience higher accident rates due to heavy traffic congestion and the prevalence of distracted or impaired driving.
Accidents can happen for a variety of reasons. Below are some common causes:
- Distracted Driving: Texting, phone use, or other distractions while driving contribute to a significant portion of accidents in Texas.
- Speeding: Driving above the speed limit increases the risk of severe crashes, especially in urban settings.
- Running Red Lights or Stop Signs: Ignoring traffic signals is a leading cause of intersection-related accidents.
- Poor Weather Conditions: Rain and fog often lead to slippery roads and reduced visibility, causing an uptick in crashes.
Understanding these factors can help drivers take steps to prevent accidents and stay safe on the roads.
