Texas: According to a Texas Department of Transportation report, in 2022, there were 2,349 traffic crashes involving bicyclists in Texas, resulting in 92 deaths and 333 serious injuries. The top contributing factors in these crashes were driver inattention, failure to yield the right of way, and speeding.
