Single-vehicle crashes are not uncommon in Texas and the United States. The factors that lead to it are the same as other kinds of accidents like rear-ended and head-on collisions, rollovers, and broadsided crashes. They range from over speeding, impaired driving, to reckless and distracted driving.
Authorities expect people involved in crashes or witnesses to report car accidents. An early report helps first responders to get to the scene on time and provide help for survivors who need it. It also helps the police to gather statements of witnesses while it is still vivid in their memories and have accurate knowledge of the facts.
