Motor Vehicle Collisions in Texas
Motor vehicle collisions are a frequent occurrence in Texas, particularly in large urban areas like Houston. Interstates such as I-45 and I-610 are known for their heavy traffic and high-speed travel, which can increase the risk of accidents. According to the Texas Department of Transportation, over 250,000 traffic accidents were reported statewide in 2023, with many resulting in injuries or fatalities.
The most common causes of motor vehicle collisions include speeding, distracted driving, failure to yield, and unsafe lane changes.
