Late-Night Highway Accidents and Safety Risks in El Paso
Highway crashes, especially during the early morning hours, often pose heightened risks due to low visibility, driver fatigue, and reduced traffic enforcement. Border Highway (Loop 375) serves as a major route through El Paso, making it a frequent site for accidents involving speeding, impaired driving, or lane departures.
According to the Texas Department of Transportation, a significant number of highway collisions in Texas occur late at night or in the early morning hours. Common contributing factors include drowsy driving, reduced reaction times, and distracted driving. High-speed roadways like Loop 375 also see an increased likelihood of rear-end crashes, single-vehicle accidents, and rollovers.
