Deadly Motorcycle Accidents in Texas

Texas has a higher-than-average death rate from motorcycle accidents. According to statistics, there are nearly daily fatalities among riders in the state. A total of 521 motorcycle deaths were reported in the Lone Star State in 2021 alone. Twenty of these deaths involved a passenger on a bike, and the other 501 were operating the vehicle. Every year, thousands of motorcycle crashes are reported in Texas. Sadly, a high number of motorcycle riders are injured or killed in auto accidents. Data shows that over 80 percent of motorcycle accidents result in fatalities or serious injuries. Roadway safety is still a major concern in Texas, and motorcycle riders are disproportionately represented in the country's traffic fatalities.
