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.

Most people tend to understand that young drivers tend to present the highest risk for car accidents. This is one of the reasons that insurance companies generally charge the highest premiums to cover drivers who have little if any experience.

Texas is a state that’s warm, relatively flat and home to many open roads. Those are just a few of the reasons that Texas is also home to one of the largest and most dedicated group of bicyclists in the United States.

Tragically, an Austin bicycle accident occurred yesterday that took the life of a man, and police are still investigating the situation.

When people encounter car trouble on a highway, they immediately become involved in a very dangerous situation. People are generally not used to coming up on stopped vehicles along the road, and given the speeds at which they are traveling avoiding collisions can be very difficult.

There are any number of distractions and difficulties that can arise that present challenges for motorists as they move down public roads. One of the most overlooked distractions is the bright shine of the sun. When it hits a windshield at a certain angle, it can be blinding if drivers do not take certain precautions.

When people drive in highway environments, there are many different things that they need to watch for in order to avoid Texas car accidents.

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.

When drivers approach intersections with the intention of turning left across lanes of oncoming traffic, those motorists need to be able to complete instantaneous and precise calculations that will allow them to proceed safely.  If even the slightest mistake is made, the result can be disaster.  Tragically, something went very wrong this morning at an intersection that led to an Eastland County motorcycle accident and to the death of a man.

When drivers get behind the wheel of vehicles, they owe a legal duty of care to anyone who may be affected by their actions.  Therefore, when drivers make mistakes and passengers inside their vehicles are injured or worse, that driver could face more than one form of legal liability as a result.  While it's too early to know exactly what occurred, what is known is that a passenger was killed in a rural Texas car accident that occurred on Sunday morning.  Police are continuing to investigate the situation.

As people obtain more and more experience behind the wheel, they tend to understand that the higher the speed at which someone drives, the more risk that tends to be invited into a situation.

Tragically, speed is suspected as the main factor in a Rio Vista car accident that led to the death of one teen and to serious injuries to three others.

Driving near a school during the early morning hours should alert any motorist to the possibility that pedestrians will be present. As a result, motorists should use extreme caution when moving through these areas at this time, as many of these pedestrians are children.

Tragically, a driver may have made some sort of mistake that led not only to a single-vehicle Texas car accident, but also to the death of a passenger.

When a driver takes in passengers to give them a ride, they are doing those who accept a ride more than a favor – they are also taking on a legal duty of care that’s owed by all drivers to their passengers.
