Auto Accidents in Texas
Car crashes are a daily occurrence in the Lone Star State, and collisions continue to be the leading contributors to death and serious injury nationwide. Texas drivers traveled around 290 billion miles on the state’s roadways in 2022, and car crashes resulted in an estimated $55,900,000,000 in economic losses that year. Compared to the number of collisions in 2021, this is an increase of over 1.66 percent. There is an injury on the road every two minutes and nine seconds, with a collision taking place every 55 seconds on average. In 2021, there were 4,481 fatalities on Texas roadways and almost 244,000 injuries. That translates to one fatal car accident about every hour and fifty-five minutes.
