Why Road Accidents are More Prominent in Texas

Statewide traffic crash rates in Texas are a serious matter.
 
In fact, the Texas Department of Transportation reports a road accident every 57 seconds. Also, more crashes on Texas roadways happen on Sundays than on any other day of the week.
 
The aftershock of an accident is not something to be dealt with alone. The burden is meant to be shared; preferably, with a community that knows how to handle the effects.
