What Are the Most Common Causes of Pedestrian and Person-vs-Vehicle Crashes in Texas?
Crashes involving a person being struck by a vehicle are among the most serious types of incidents reported on Texas roads, and they occur across all types of settings, from busy urban streets to quieter residential areas. In many cases, these crashes happen at or near intersections, where the paths of vehicles and people on foot or in other vulnerable positions overlap most frequently. Factors such as driver inattention, failure to yield, and limited visibility during afternoon hours contribute to a large share of these incidents statewide.
McKinney has grown significantly in recent years, with new residential neighborhoods and increased traffic on connecting roads like Plainfield Drive. As development expands, intersections that once carried lighter loads often see a surge in vehicle volume without proportional upgrades to signage or traffic controls. This mismatch between road infrastructure and traffic demand can raise the risk of serious crashes in fast-growing Texas communities.
