Intersection Accidents in Texas
Intersections are a typical part of our everyday commutes in Texas. You probably do not think twice about crossing an intersection while you are out and about during the day. However, statistics show that maybe you should be a bit more cautious around these areas of the road. In fact, nearly 40 percent of collisions nationwide involve intersections, making up the largest crash category by far. Even more, around 50 percent of serious crashes occur at intersections, along with nearly 20 percent of traffic fatalities. The three leading causes of intersection accidents are left turns, vehicles crossing the intersection, and right-hand turns.
