Train-Vehicle Collisions in Texas
Train collisions, though less frequent than other traffic accidents, pose serious risks to motorists and pedestrians. Texas is home to a vast railway system, and intersections like Highway 90 and Highway 6 often see high volumes of traffic near railroad crossings.
According to the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), hundreds of train-related crashes occur each year in the United States, with many leading to serious injuries and fatalities. Common causes include driver inattention, malfunctioning crossing signals, and vehicles getting stuck on tracks.
Motorists are urged to remain cautious when approaching railroad crossings, obey warning signals, and never attempt to cross when a train is approaching.
For those injured in train-related accidents, seeking immediate medical attention and gathering crucial documentation—such as police reports, witness statements, and medical records—can be essential when pursuing compensation for damages.
