Head-On Crashes in Texas
Some of the most catastrophic crash types on Texas roads are head-on collisions. Only about 2 percent of reported car crashes each year involve head-on impacts. However, they still make up for roughly 10 percent of all reported traffic deaths nationwide. When huge commercial rigs like semi-trucks are involved, these collisions are significantly more catastrophic for those involved. Statistics show that head-on collisions were to blame for close to 31 percent of the fatalities in 2021 involving two semi-trucks and passengers. Large commercial trucks involved in side-impact collisions account for another 24 percent of these fatalities. You need to be sure that you are able to work with a trained legal team if you are the victim of a serious car accident.
