Updated for 2025-The Harris County Commercial Vehicle Accident Fatality statistics have been updated to reflect the latest data.
Each year, the state of Texas is required to collect and analyze crash data gathered by Texas officers when filling out crash data reports.
The data is helpful to authorities for planning purposes and anticipating safety needs within the state of Texas. Currently, the state of Texas retains ten years of data from the crash reports.
One of the areas analyzed by the state of Texas is the number of crashes involving commercial vehicles and the number of injuries by County. In 2024, there were 546 fatal crashes involving commercial motor vehicles in the state of Texas. In those accidents, 608 people died, 1601 people were seriously injured, and another 6,148 people were listed with non-incapacitating injuries, and another 7,312 with possible injury.
Overwhelmingly, Harris County had the highest number of fatal crashes, fatalities, and serious injuries from a commercial vehicle wreck.
Dallas County was second in the number of fatal crashes and injuries, followed by Travis County. Obviously, the denser the population, the more likely it is for a tractor-trailer crash.
One of the areas of concern throughout the state of Texas is traffic congestion, which leads to more accidents. Major metropolitan areas, such as Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio, are more likely to experience traffic problems that lead to unnecessary crashes. Recent reports indicate that Houston has jumped to the list of the worst traffic conditions in the US.
