A report commissioned by the Permian Road Safety Coalition and released by Texas A&M Transportation Institute revealed that severe and fatal crashes occur at a higher rate in the Permian Basin than the rest of Texas.[1] The report reveals an impacting statistic that accidents that occurred in the Permian Basin were twice as likely to be fatal.
Although the Permian Basin is a rural and not highly populated area, it is a heavily traveled area with high-speed traffic. The report further reveals that commercial motor vehicles accounted for nearly half of the crashes in the Permian Basin that resulted in fatalities.
