How Haskell County compares with Texas
Haskell County against Texas and the US, 2015–2025 (years with complete crash reporting). Per-resident rates make big and small places comparable.

Full comparison
| Measure (2015–2025) | Haskell County | Texas | United States | vs state |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Crashes per 100k residents / yr | 250.9 | 62.9 | 49.7 | 4.0× the state |
| Deaths per 100 crashes | 4.7 | 4.1 | 3.4 | 1.1× the state |
| Injuries per crash | 0.37 | 0.58 | 0.49 | 36% below the state |
| Garbage-truck share | 0.7% | 1.1% | 2.3% | 39% below the state |
| On snow, slush or ice | 2.7% | 1.7% | 6.2% | 1.6× the state |
| Morning rush (6–10 am) | 22.0% | 22.6% | 23.7% | same |
| In rain, sleet or snow | 38.0% | 11.3% | 13.8% | 3.4× the state |
| Winter months (Nov–Mar) | 46.0% | 40.8% | 41.9% | 1.1× the state |
| After dark | 34.7% | 27.0% | 24.8% | 1.3× the state |
Haskell County has lower values than Texas for injuries per crash and garbage-truck share. It stands out for higher crashes per 100k residents / yr, deaths per 100 crashes and on snow, slush or ice.
Haskell County at a glance: 38.0% in rain, sleet or snow, against 11.3% across Texas.
Overview
Haskell County has recorded 158 truck crashes since 2015, with 61 people injured and 7 killed.
That averages about one truck crash every 27 days in fully reported years.
Only 2 truck crashes were reported in Haskell since 2015; patterns below come from Haskell County as a whole.
When crashes happen
January has the most truck crashes, 10.1% of the yearly total, while July has the fewest (3.8%).
The five winter months (November to March) hold 46.0% of truck crashes, against 40.8% across Texas.
The busiest hour is 9–10 am, with 8.2% of truck crashes.
Snow, slush or ice was on the road in 2.7% of truck crashes, compared with 1.7% in Texas.
Where crashes happen
Roads with fatal crashes involving a large truck within 10 miles of Haskell since 2015: US-277 (2). No single road stands out.
Garbage & waste trucks
Garbage trucks account for 1 of the truck crashes here, or 0.6%, compared with 1.1% in Texas.
Route planning tips for Haskell fleets
- Build extra time into January routes: it has the most truck crashes here.
- With 2.7% of truck crashes on snow, slush or ice (above Texas), plan winter equipment checks early.
- Paste your stops into the free Route Planner to see the risk score, safer alternatives and low bridges.
About the data
Sources: the FMCSA crash file for all reported truck crashes and NHTSA FARS for fatal crashes with a large truck. Every statement here comes straight from those numbers.

Historical data: truck crashes in Haskell County since the 1990s
Combines the FMCSA crash file (all reported truck crashes, real coverage from about 1990) with NHTSA FARS (fatal crashes involving a large truck, 1982–2024).
| Decade | Truck crashes / yr | Change | Fatal crashes / yr (FARS) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 4 | — | 0.3 |
| 2000s | 6 | +44% | 0.0 |
| 2010s | 10 | +67% | 0.4 |
| 2020s | 14 | +29% | 0.2 |
Reported truck crashes averaged 4 a year in the 1990s and 14 a year in the 2020s. Reporting practices changed over time, so part of any change can come from reporting. Fatal crashes involving a large truck averaged 0.5 a year in 2016–19 and 0.2 a year in 2020–24.
