Almost everyone understands that consuming alcohol and then getting behind the wheel of a vehicle is a decision that only invites extreme danger and something that can lead to terrible crashes. However, alcohol is not the only substance that can create this danger, and police suspect that prescription drugs may have been a factor in a suspected Tyler DUI accident last week that took the life of a woman. The other driver has been arrested.

There are certain roads and even stretches of roads that become notorious over time because of the high number of auto accidents that occur in those locations. Texas, unfortunately, is home to many of these notorious places, and one that’s been getting more attention lately because of a growing number of fatal Texas car accidents is a stretch of Highway 6 that has seen several deaths in the last few years.

Different groups including insurance companies and auto clubs put together lists of leading causes of car accidents on a regular basis, and one of the causes of crashes that is always near the top is distracted driving.  This is a problem that has seemingly become even more serious in recent years, and for the third year in a row April has been declared Distracted Driving Awareness Month throughout the United States.

People who have a degree of experience behind the wheel tend to learn to anticipate common mistakes that people make behind the wheel. However, few if any people would ever anticipate seeing someone coming directly at them at a high rate of speed while moving in the wrong direction down the road. Unfortunately, that’s what police believe occurred over the weekend when one person was killed and both drivers were seriously injured in a wrong-way Dallas car accident.

Driving in rain is a task that almost all of us have undertaken many times, and those who are traveling in these weather conditions need to be extremely cautious behind the wheel in order to prevent Texas car accidents. Unfortunately, situations can still spin out of control, and tragically that appears to be what occurred over the weekend that led to a Gregg County car accident that took the lives of two people and injured three others.

When people are driving down the highway, they tend to anticipate the common mistakes that other motorists will make so that they can avoid collisions. This innate ability tends to serve people very well, but few if any people would ever foresee someone coming at them in the wrong direction on the road at a high rate of speed. Unfortunately, this is what led to a wrong-way Dallas car accident that left both drivers seriously injured.
