Car Accidents in Texas
Every year, Texas roads see thousands of motor vehicle accidents that result in serious injuries. The Texas Department of Public Safety reports that in 2022 alone, nearly 19,000 people suffered serious injuries on Texas roads. Staying informed about how to stay safe can help reduce the likelihood of a crash.
For drivers navigating busy intersections like those in Dallas, here are some common factors and safety reminders:
- Intersection Crashes: Many accidents happen at intersections when drivers fail to yield or run red lights. Being extra cautious when passing through or turning at an intersection can prevent devastating consequences.
- Distracted Driving: Distractions are a leading cause of accidents in Texas. Taking eyes off the road, even for a second, can result in a serious collision. Put the phone away and stay focused on driving.
- Speeding: Driving above the speed limit limits a driver’s reaction time and increases the severity of crashes. Always adjust your speed based on traffic and weather conditions.
- Impairment: Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs remains a major cause of accidents. Always choose a designated driver or a rideshare service to get home safely.
