Car Accidents in Texas
Crashes like this are part of a troubling pattern on Texas roadways. In 2023 alone, the Texas Department of Public Safety reported thousands of crashes involving serious injuries across the state. Many of these collisions occur in urban areas, especially during peak traffic hours, and often result in lasting physical, emotional, and financial consequences.
To help raise awareness, here are several important factors that often lead to serious injuries in car accidents:
- Busy intersections during high-traffic times: Complex intersections like Gaston Avenue and North Fitzhugh Avenue can become congested quickly. Drivers rushing to beat lights or failing to check for cross-traffic create hazardous conditions.
- Distracted driving: Texting, eating, or using in-car entertainment systems takes attention off the road. A momentary distraction is enough to cause a serious crash.
- Failure to yield the right of way: Many intersection-related accidents happen because drivers misjudge timing or ignore yield signs and signals. These types of collisions are especially dangerous in dense traffic areas.
- Excessive speed on city streets: Even going 10 miles per hour over the limit in a city setting reduces a driver’s ability to stop in time and increases injury severity in a collision.
- Close following distances: Tailgating remains a common cause of rear-end crashes. It’s critical to maintain safe spacing, especially during sudden stops and turns at intersections.
