Car Accidents in Texas
Across Texas, thousands of people are injured each year in vehicle accidents ranging from minor collisions to major crashes. These incidents often result in lasting physical and emotional harm. Busy intersections in urban areas are particularly prone to accidents due to high traffic volumes and multiple points of conflict.
When it comes to intersection-related crashes, there are key factors to consider:
- Driver Inattention: Distracted driving—whether due to phones, navigation systems, or conversations—often leads to missed traffic signals and sudden collisions at intersections.
- Improper Turns: Accidents frequently occur when drivers make left-hand turns without yielding to oncoming traffic or attempt U-turns where prohibited.
- Red-Light Running: One of the leading causes of serious crashes at intersections is running a red light, which often results in T-bone or side-impact accidents.
- Obstructed Visibility: Parked cars, overgrown shrubs, or poor lighting can block a driver’s view, making it harder to see other vehicles or pedestrians approaching.
- Speeding Through Intersections: Failing to reduce speed before entering an intersection increases the chances of losing control or being unable to stop in time to avoid a crash.
