Common Causes of Rear-Ending
Highway 380 and Loop 288 run through Denton, each with multiple stoplights along the route. Due to these roadways and others, there is a lot of stop-and-go traffic in the area.
Unfortunately, these traffic patterns make rear-end collisions common. When people have to stop suddenly in traffic, drivers who are not paying attention, are on their cell phones, or are under the influence may be unable to stop in time and collide with the backside of the other vehicle.
Additionally, the city is experiencing significant growth, leading to construction on local roads. Anytime there is a lot of construction on the roads, people who have been there a long time have to deal with new traffic patterns. This can also lead to rear-end collisions and tailgating.
