Types of Construction Zone Vehicle Accidents

    DALLAS, TX, March 16, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Not all auto accidents are caused by negligent driving. Sometimes dangerous roadways are to blame. Poorly marked construction zones, poorly maintained roads, and other hazardous road conditions cause many accidents each year in Texas.

At any given time, the Texas Department of Transportation may list over one hundred major work zones involving lane closures and detours throughout the state. Add hundreds of county and city road construction projects, and you could encounter construction zone hazards wherever you drive. It happens more often than most people realize.

Construction zone accidents involving cars, trucks, and motorcycles usually result in serious personal injury or death due of the nature of the accident, the type of roads these accidents occur on, and the high rate of speed travelers are usually driving. When traveling at a high rate of speed, it is almost impossible to stop in time if you come upon a construction zone that was not properly marked. This may result in a rear-end accident and possibly a chain reaction involving many other vehicles.

Another type of construction zone accident is one in which construction zone vehicles back into traffic without warning. This can lead to single and multi-car accidents totally thousands in property damage and untold serious personal injuries.
