Car Accidents in Texas
Thousands of police officers are injured while on and off-duty every year throughout the country. Studies also show that over 100,000 accidents are caused every year by drivers who disregard traffic laws and run red lights. Drivers attempt to speed through lights when they are under the influence or just driving recklessly. When drivers do this, they risk harming themselves and others at the intersection.
