In Texas, around 10 people lose their lives per day in auto wrecks, or over 3,600 every year. This is around 10% of the national fatality rate.
In 2020, close to 4,000 people were killed in car wrecks in Texas, a 7.6% increase from the previous year. Approximately 15,000 people were injured in car wrecks in 2020.
