Collisions are a common occurrence in busy areas like Del Valle, especially at major intersections like E SH 71 and S SH 130, where surface roads intersect with service routes and highways. These high-traffic areas are prone to accidents due to factors such as speeding, failure to yield, and driver inattention.
The Texas Department of Transportation reports that intersections and service roads contribute to a significant number of crashes in the state each year. Travis County, which encompasses both urban and suburban regions, frequently sees collisions involving multiple vehicles. Contributing factors include distracted driving, unsafe lane changes, and impaired driving, all of which can result in serious injuries or fatalities.

Accidents often impose a significant burden on victims, including physical injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional trauma.
