What Is an Intersection Accident?
An intersection accident occurs when vehicles collide at a crossroads, often involving multiple drivers, pedestrians, or cyclists. These accidents are particularly dangerous due to the mix of vehicles coming from different directions and pedestrians crossing the street.
Common causes include distracted driving, failure to yield, running red lights, or poor visibility due to weather or road conditions. In busy cities like Houston, where intersections are often congested, these accidents can lead to severe damage and serious injuries. Navigating the aftermath can be complicated, requiring experienced legal representation to ensure victims receive the compensation they deserve for their damages and injuries.
Why Intersection Accidents Happen
Intersection accidents often involve complex questions about right-of-way, traffic signals, and split-second decisions. Some of the most common causes include:
Running red or yellow lights
Drivers who speed through red or yellow lights often cause T-bone crashes, as cross-traffic expects a clear path once the light changes.
Distracted driving (especially phone use during heavy traffic)
Texting or checking phones while approaching or waiting at intersections can delay reaction times, leading to rear-end crashes or missed signals.
Failing to yield during left turns
Many collisions occur when drivers turn left without yielding to oncoming traffic, often underestimating the speed or distance of approaching vehicles.
Illegal right-on-red turns
Turning right on red without a full stop or proper check for cross-traffic, cyclists, or pedestrians can result in side-impact or pedestrian accidents.
Speeding through congested intersections
High speeds in intersections reduce a driver’s ability to stop in time for changing signals or sudden obstacles, increasing crash severity.
Pedestrians stepping out unexpectedly
When pedestrians cross outside the crosswalk or against signals, it can catch drivers off guard, especially if visibility is low or traffic is heavy.
Rear-end collisions at stoplights
Sudden stops, distracted drivers, or following too closely can cause rear-end accidents, especially when vehicles ahead stop for red lights or turning cars.
The Most Dangerous Intersections in Houston
According to the Federal Highway Administration, roughly one-quarter of traffic fatalities and about half of all traffic injuries in the United States occur at intersections each year. This highlights the significant danger intersections pose to drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists, underscoring the need for heightened caution and awareness when navigating through these high-risk areas. Some intersections see crashes year after year due to high traffic volume, poor design, or reckless behavior. Here are a few known trouble spots in Houston:
- JFK and Aldine Bender
- Highway 225 between Shaver and Scarborough Lane
- Â I-45 feeder road at Chartres Street
- Â East Freeway frontage road at the intersection of Gellhorn Drive
- Â 610 Loop and North McCarty
- Greens Road and I-45
- Â Sam Houston Parkway and Westheimer Road
- Â Main Street and South Loop
- Â Beechnut Street and Sam Houston Parkway
- Bissonnet Street and Sam Houston Parkway, and
- Â Main Street and Sam Houston Parkway
Pedestrians and Cyclists Are Most at Risk
Unfortunately, those on foot or bike often suffer the worst in intersection crashes. In Texas, pedestrian fatalities have been rising, with nearly 300 deaths reported in just the first half of 2018 alone. Houston intersections like West Belfort & Fondren and Main Street & Pierce are especially dangerous for pedestrians.
If you or a loved one was struck at an intersection, you may be dealing with serious injuries and a long recovery. We’re here to help you hold the negligent party accountable.
