Car Crashes in Houston
The state of Texas has more than 17 million licensed drivers who drive hundreds of millions of miles on roadways across our state each year. Although we like to believe that they are able to do so safely at all times, this is far from the truth. In fact, vehicle collisions are a regular part of life in our state. Car accidents in Houston and across the state of Texas happen thousands of times per year, causing injuries to thousands of people and taking the lives of thousands more. In 2018, one person lost their life every two hours and 24 minutes in Texas due to a Texas car accident. One person sustained injuries approximately every two minutes and seven seconds, and a reportable accident took place every 58 seconds.
