Highway Crashes in Johnson County
Serious car accidents on rural highways like Highway 171 in Johnson County can lead to devastating outcomes, particularly when high speeds and limited visibility are involved. Rural routes often lack median barriers and have fewer lighting and shoulder protections, which can increase the severity of collisions.
According to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), Johnson County has seen a steady rise in serious and fatal crashes on state highways over the past five years. Many of these incidents involve rollovers, entrapments, or head-on impacts—situations where rescue crews must perform complex extrications, as seen in this recent crash near Godley.
Victims of severe collisions often face long recoveries that include hospital stays, surgeries, and months of physical therapy. These challenges can also create significant financial strain. In such cases, victims and their families may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional suffering caused by another driver’s negligence.
