San Antonio, TX (December 16, 2021) – One person was left with injuries following a two-vehicle accident in Bexar County, according to reports. Just after 8 p.m., on December 11, emergency crews were notified that their assistance was needed on-site at a crash on Texas State Highway 151.
Reports from authorities show that a gold 2016 Subaru was traveling on Texas State Highway 151 when the driver failed to yield the right of way to a blue 2019 Toyota. As a result, the two vehicles collided.
The driver of the Toyota, a 58-year-old male, sustained injuries in the accident. He was transported to a local hospital for care.
At this time, the incident remains under investigation.
Our thoughts are with the victim who was injured in this accident. We hope for his full recovery.
Car Accidents in Texas
The state of Texas is no stranger to motor vehicle accidents. In fact, one accident happens roughly every 2.5 minutes that ends in injuries. These incidents add up to more than 205,000 people left with injuries each year. Although many crashes result in minor injuries for those involved, a significant number of parties sustain severe injuries that require emergency medical care.
Some of the most common contributing factors to crashes in our state include:
Speeding: We see many drivers go above the speed limits while traveling along our roadways. When drivers are traveling at high rates of speed, they are likely to lose control of their vehicles and have problems stopping in time to avoid a crash.
Impairment: Many people are involved in accidents due to drivers who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Driving while impaired significantly increases the chances of drivers losing control of their vehicles and causing devastating crashes.
Distraction: We see many accidents take place due to drivers who are using their cell phones. In other instances, drivers are distracted by food, radios, and even their passengers. Taking your attention off the road for a moment can have severe consequences.
