Vehicle Crashes in Houston
Houston experiences a high number of vehicle crashes each year, particularly on major highways like Interstate 610, which serves as a vital loop around the city. According to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), thousands of collisions occur annually on Houston’s roadways, with many leading to serious injuries.
Highway intersections, such as I-610 W and Fulton St, are prone to crashes due to high traffic volumes, merging lanes, and sudden speed changes. Common causes of accidents in these areas include distracted driving, speeding, failure to yield, and unsafe lane changes.
Drivers can reduce the risk of highway crashes by maintaining a safe following distance, staying alert in merging areas, and avoiding distractions while behind the wheel. Defensive driving techniques, such as anticipating sudden stops and adjusting speed to traffic flow, are essential for navigating high-traffic roadways safely.
