Fatal Car Accidents in Texas
Every day, around 10 people lose their lives in auto accidents across the state of Texas. Accidents involving semi-trucks and large commercial vehicles are more likely to result in severe and fatal injuries for victims due to their massive size and weight.
Drivers who are under the influence of alcohol contribute to more than 25% of fatal crashes each year. Drivers who are distracted account for 18% of crashes. Speeding contributes to nearly 20% of all fatal crashes each year.
