Car Accidents in Texas
Motor vehicle accidents happen every day across Texas, often leaving victims with painful injuries, costly medical bills, and lasting trauma. According to the Texas Department of Transportation, there were over 15,000 serious injury crashes reported statewide in 2023 alone. Busy city intersections like the one at West Trade Street and North Poplar Street can be especially hazardous when drivers fail to yield, become distracted, or run traffic signals.
Learning about common causes of intersection collisions can help Texans drive more cautiously:
-
Running Red Lights: Intersections are dangerous when drivers ignore traffic signals. Running a red light can lead to high-impact T-bone or side-impact crashes, which frequently cause serious injuries.
-
Failure to Yield Right of Way: Many crashes happen when drivers fail to yield properly at stop signs or when turning left across oncoming lanes. Being patient and cautious can help prevent these dangerous mistakes.
-
Distracted Driving: Looking at a phone or adjusting the radio can lead to a momentary lapse in attention — all it takes to miss a changing light or a pedestrian crossing.
-
Following Too Closely: Rear-end collisions often occur when drivers don’t leave enough space to stop safely at intersections. Keeping a safe following distance can help avoid sudden impacts.
-
Impaired Driving: Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs greatly increases the risk of intersection accidents. Staying sober behind the wheel protects everyone on the road.
