Texas Fatal Auto Accidents

The vast highways and roadways of the Lone Star State are traversed by thousands of Texans every day. An incredible 244,092 non-fatal injury crashes occurred in Texas in 2022. And roughly 15,299 of those resulted in serious injuries. Distracted driving resulted in 448 fatalities, a rise of 11 percent from 2021. Car accidents were also brought on by a variety of other circumstances. Drunk driving contributed to many accidents in Texas that year, resulting in 1,163 fatalities overall. This accounted for 25.95 percent of all Texas traffic fatalities. Although drivers of all ages have the potential to play a role in roadway safety, more crashes on Texas roads involved drivers between the ages of 19 and 24.
