Deadly Motorcycle Crashes in Texas

When you hit the road on the back of a motorcycle, you are putting yourself in an extremely vulnerable position. Many drivers fail to look out for motorcyclists, causing serious collisions in the process. Data from the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) reveal that a total of 562 people were killed and 2,422 were hurt in motorcycle crashes across the state in 2022, and more than half of these crashes involved other vehicles. Statistics reveal that almost 45 percent of motorcyclists killed in collisions in 2021 were not wearing helmets, greatly increasing the risk of fatal injuries.
