Texas Car Crashes

Texas sees hundreds of thousands of car accidents every year. The Lone Star State is one of the top three states in the U.S. with the most reported car wrecks per year. On average, there are more than 400,000 car crashes in Texas yearly. These accidents cause injuries to more than 150,000 people and take the lives of over 3,200 each year. 

The majority of the auto accidents that happen in the state of Texas and across the United States are due to driver negligence/error. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that 4 out of 5 car crashes in the US are the result of the actions of a negligent driver. In the past ten years, negligent driving has become one of the leading causes of death in the country. People ages 15-20 die most often due to car accidents caused by driver negligence. This is alarming, considering that there are millions of car wrecks reported every single year in the United States.
