According to area law enforcement, vehicles collided in the 15,100 block of Farm to Market Road 969. The incident prompted the closure of the roadway near Cadillac Drive.

Medics cared for injured victims before transporting them to local hospitals. The crash is currently under investigation.
We hope the injured victims recover quickly following this accident.
Car Accidents in Texas
A motor vehicle accident can happen in the blink of an eye and change your life forever. Unfortunately, an accident is reported nearly every two minutes in Texas that leaves at least one person with serious injuries. Far too often, victims have to go through extensive medical treatment and spend several days or even weeks out of work to recover. Trying to deal with the overwhelming consequences of automobile accidents can be quite challenging.
Regrettably, there are countless instances where victims are forced to deal with overwhelming consequences in the aftermath of their accidents. If you find yourself injured as a result of an automobile collision, you may have legal options available to help you. One of the best things you can do is file a personal injury claim against the responsible driver. In order to prevail, you must be able to prove fault by showing negligence existed at the time of the crash.
How to Prove Fault After a Car Crash
Establishing fault following a car accident can be a challenging task, but having the necessary evidence is crucial. Getting a copy of the police report, gathering contact information from eyewitnesses, and capturing photos and videos of the crash scene are essential steps. With this evidence, you can demonstrate various aspects of the accident and contributing factors.
Seeking legal representation from a car accident lawyer is also advisable. An attorney can work with experts to reconstruct the accident and enlist financial experts to calculate the losses and damages that you face accurately. Through a comprehensive investigation, your attorney will take all necessary steps to prove fault in your accident, maximizing your chances of receiving the highest possible compensation. Having legal support ensures that you navigate the challenges of the legal process effectively and protect your interests.
