道路上的大量车祸是由恶劣的天气条件引起的。降雨和洪水对道路安全造成的最严重后果是与机动车相关的山洪死亡。这些死亡事件在德克萨斯州尤其令人关注。有关山洪暴发造成的机动车死亡的信息是从国家气候数据中心风暴数据报告中提取的。对一般山洪死亡报告（提供了死亡情况）的审查显示，大多数死亡与机动车辆有关（80%）。此外，报告数据表明，从 1959 年到 2009 年，德克萨斯州因机动车辆引发的山洪造成的死亡人数远远超过任何其他州的洪水死亡人数。对山洪暴发死亡人数的人口统计分析表明，在德克萨斯州，所有年龄段的人都面临风险，而且男性比女性受影响更大。空间分析表明，死亡人数最高的地区是拥有主要城市地区的县。气候变化和多变性预计将导致风暴和洪水的频率和强度增加，以及该地区的快速城市化可能会大大增加天气对德克萨斯州道路安全的影响。
A significant number of crashes on roads are caused by adverse weather conditions. Among the most serious consequences of rainfall and flooding in regard to road safety are the motor vehicle-related flash flood fatalities. These fatalities are of particular concern in Texas. Information on motor vehicle fatalities caused by flash floods was extracted from the National Climatic Data Center Storm Data reports. Review of reports on flash flood fatalities in general, where the death circumstances are provided, reveals that most fatalities are motor vehicle-related (80%). Moreover, data from the reports indicate that from 1959 to 2009 the number of motor vehicle-related flash flood fatalities in Texas exceeds by far the total number of flood fatalities in any other state. Demographic analysis of the flash flood fatalities indicates that, in Texas, all ages are at risk and that males are much more affected than females. Spatial analysis indicates that the highest numbers of fatalities occur in counties having major urban areas. The increase in the frequency and intensity of storms and floods that is projected to result from climate changes and variability, and the rapid urbanization in the region may considerably increase the impacts of weather on road safety in Texas.
