Basin safety push as motorcycle deaths rise in Texas
The Department of Public Safety launches a motorcycle safety campaign after Texas recorded 494 rider fatalities last year, about 15 percent of all traffic deaths. In the Permian Basin several fatal crashes are noted, including a rider who died after a Tuesday collision near University Boulevard and Windsor Drive in Odessa. Other Odessa and Midland incidents involve helmet use and driver inattention, with multiple riders hospitalized and some pronounced dead. DPS urges helmet use, visual checks, and safe following distances to reduce crashes amid growing motorcycle registrations and a 42,000 annual safety training reach.
