DPS: Juana Andrade-Zepeda hurt in San Jacinto County collision

HEAD-ON CRASH INVESTIGATION

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, early estimates show that 39,345 people died in motor vehicle crashes in 2024, reflecting a decrease of about 3.8 percent from the previous year. This downward trend has continued into 2025, with preliminary data for the first nine months indicating approximately 27,365 fatalities, a 6.4 percent decline compared to the same timeframe in 2024.

While these numbers show progress, officials emphasize that driver error continues to be the leading cause of crashes. Speeding, distracted driving, and impairment remain key contributors to deadly head-on collisions nationwide.

“Contributing factors to be examined include road conditions, visibility, and lighting,” said Candice Bond, a Managing Partner with Bond Legal.

“In some cases, an accident reconstruction team is required to determine exactly what occurred. These resources are critical in helping clients pursue compensation for damages or losses after a collision,” added Bond, an experienced auto accident attorney.
