Interstate 35 a Hotspot for Texas Car Accidents

 Posted on March 14, 2012 in Uncategorized

According to the Texas Department of Transportation (DOT), traffic on Interstate 35 between Laredo to San Antonio will increase to 234,000 vehicles per day by 2030. This stretch of road is already the scene of numerous car and truck accidents – in part because semi-trucks constitute nearly half of its traffic. As the number of vehicles traveling on I-35 continues to increase, it’s very likely that the number of auto accidents on I-35 will also to rise.

On March 7, a New Braunfels man was critically injured in an auto accident on Business 35. As reported by KNGB, the man was traveling east on Bus. 35 when the Chevy Monte Carlo that he was driving hit a mini-van that was waiting at the traffic light at the Guadalupe River turnaround. After hitting the van, he proceeded to drive through the grassy median and run into the concrete barrier dividing Bus. 35 from I-35. While the driver and passenger of the van were uninjured, the 34-year-old man driving the Monte Carlo was airlifted to a local hospital in critical condition. As of March 8, it was unclear what caused the accident.
