Texas Traffic Collision Frequency
Houston’s busy highways, including Interstate 10, are frequent sites of vehicle collisions due to high traffic volumes and the fast-paced nature of urban driving. Accidents in these areas often result in serious injuries and significant property damage. According to data from the Texas Department of Transportation, distracted driving, speeding, and improper lane changes are leading causes of highway crashes.
The Memorial area, home to heavy commuter traffic, is no stranger to such incidents. Intersections and highway entry points, like Gessner Rd, pose additional risks due to merging lanes and high speeds. These factors make vigilance and adherence to traffic laws essential for all drivers.
