Car Accidents in Texas
Texas experiences a significant number of car accidents each year, with many leading to injuries. In 2022, more than 19,000 people suffered serious injuries in crashes across the state. With the high volume of traffic and various road conditions, drivers must remain vigilant at all times to avoid collisions.
Crashes often occur due to preventable factors. Here are some of the most common causes of accidents in Texas:
- Distracted Driving – Texting, eating, or using in-car technology can take a driver’s attention away from the road, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Speeding – Exceeding the speed limit or driving too fast for road conditions makes it harder to react in time to avoid a collision.
- Driving Under the Influence – Alcohol and drugs impair judgment, coordination, and reaction time, leading to many avoidable accidents each year.
- Failure to Yield – Ignoring traffic signals or failing to yield when required can result in dangerous T-bones or head-on crashes.
- Poor Weather Conditions – Rain, fog, and ice can make roads slippery, reducing visibility and control. Drivers should adjust their speed and following distance accordingly.
