Texas consistently reports a high number of vehicle collisions each year, with busy roadways like FM 969 posing risks for drivers. According to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), more than 630,000 crashes were recorded statewide in 2024, many of which resulted in injuries or fatalities.
Rural and suburban roadways, such as FM 969, often see accidents caused by factors including high speeds, sudden lane changes, and driver inattention. Collisions on these roads can be particularly hazardous due to limited visibility, higher travel speeds, and fewer controlled intersections.

Additionally, documenting the scene, speaking with witnesses, and consulting with a legal professional can be crucial in ensuring fair treatment in any insurance claims or legal proceedings.
