Car Accidents in Texas
Crashes like the one at 15th Street and Alma Drive show how quickly a normal drive can turn dangerous. The Texas Department of Public Safety reports that thousands of people suffer injuries in car accidents every year. Many of these collisions happen at busy intersections just like this one.
Several common factors increase the risk of serious intersection crashes:
- Distracted Driving: Using a phone or adjusting GPS often makes drivers miss red lights or stopped vehicles.
- Speeding: High speeds reduce stopping distance and make collisions far more violent.
- Failure to Yield: Drivers who ignore signals or make unsafe turns often trigger side-impact crashes.
- Traffic Congestion: Heavy traffic in cities like Plano increases sudden stops and rear-end collisions.
- Fatigue: Tired drivers react slower and make critical mistakes behind the wheel.
Victims often suffer painful injuries such as head trauma, broken bones, and internal damage. Recovery can take weeks or months, bringing medical bills, therapy costs, and time away from work.
