Texas Car Crashes

Car crashes happen in Texas at an alarming rate. Over 435,000 auto collisions were reported by the Texas Department of Transportation in 2020. These accidents resulted in approximately 250,000 injuries and over 3,600 fatalities. Throughout the United States, there are more than 6 million car crashes reported per year that cause injuries to more than 3 million people and take the lives of approximately 40,000. 

These accidents happen for a multitude of different reasons, ranging from vehicle problems to dangerous roadways.
