Bedford Intersection Crash Data
Crashes are frequent in Bedford. TxDOT’s 2024 data shows 758 reported crashes in the city, including three fatal wrecks and 20 others that seriously injured 23 people.
Traffic from SH 121 and SH 183 (Airport Freeway) feeds onto frontage roads and local streets, so intersections near freeway exits see heavy turning traffic and drivers still moving at highway speed.
Types of Intersection Crashes in Bedford
Most intersection wrecks fall into a few categories:
- Side-impact crashes when a driver runs a red or yellow light or stop sign
- Left-turn crashes when a driver turns across oncoming traffic without enough room
- Rear-end crashes at signals (Bedford rear-end crashes)
- Right-on-red crashes involving pedestrians or cross traffic
Side impacts often cause head injuries, broken ribs and pelvis, and neck and back injuries, because the door is the only barrier.
Proving Fault After a Bedford Intersection Crash
Fault depends on right of way under the Texas Transportation Code. Drivers must obey signals, yield when turning left, and stop fully at stop signs.
When stories conflict, we rely on video, independent witnesses, vehicle damage, and crash data. Texas comparative fault reduces an award by your share of blame and bars it above 50%, so countering any claim that you were partly at fault matters.
Most claims must be filed within two years of the crash.

Intersection Crashes In Bedford, TX FAQs
How common are crashes in Bedford?
According to TxDOT, 758 crashes were reported in Bedford in 2024, roughly two per day. Three were fatal, and 20 others seriously injured 23 people. Many of the city's serious crashes happen along SH 121 and SH 183 and where their frontage roads meet local streets.
Is the turning driver always at fault in an intersection crash?
Not always. Turning drivers usually must yield, but an oncoming driver who was speeding or ran a red light can share or carry the blame. Texas divides fault by percentage, and you can recover if you are 50% or less responsible.
What if the driver who hit me at an intersection drove away?
Call police right away and note any details of the vehicle. Your uninsured motorist coverage may pay for your injuries in a hit-and-run if you carry it. Nearby cameras can sometimes identify the vehicle.
How much does a Bedford intersection crash lawyer cost?
We take intersection crash cases on a contingency fee. You pay nothing upfront and owe no attorney's fees unless we recover money for you. Our fee will never exceed your recovery, and the exact terms are given to you in writing.
