717 Crashes in Three Years: Where Local Drivers Are Wrecking Most Often
New TxDOT and city planning data show US Highway 175, FM 741, FM 148 and Malloy Bridge Road are the corridors producing the most crashes across Seagoville, Crandall and Combine.
Drivers in Seagoville, Crandall and Combine were involved in 717 reportable traffic crashes during the last three complete years, according to Texas Department of Transportation records.
Most did not involve fatalities or catastrophic injuries. Many were the type of property damage and no injury crashes residents encounter far more often, including rear end collisions, intersection wrecks and other everyday accidents.
That changes the picture considerably.
Instead of asking only which local roads have produced the most deaths, Shop in Seagoville examined where crashes are occurring generally, how frequently motorists are wrecking and which corridors repeatedly appear in local crash data.
The numbers point most clearly toward US Highway 175 and several of Crandall’s major thoroughfares, particularly FM 741.
717 Crashes in Three Years
Texas Department of Transportation records show the following citywide totals:
| City | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 | Three Year Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Crandall | 110 | 116 | 127 | 353 |
| Seagoville | 119 | 128 | 87 | 334 |
| Combine | 11 | 14 | 5 | 30 |
| Total | 240 | 258 | 219 | 717 |
That works out to an average of 239 crashes per year across the three communities, approximately one reportable crash every day and a half.
Crandall accounted for 353, or about 49 percent, of the three year total. Seagoville accounted for another 334, or nearly 47 percent. Combine represented only about 4 percent.
Crandall’s Crash Total Is Moving Up
Crandall is the community where the trend deserves particular attention. TxDOT recorded 110 crashes in 2023, 116 in 2024 and 127 in 2025, an increase of about 15 percent in only two years.
The majority were not injury crashes. In 2025, 88 of Crandall’s 127 crashes, about 69 percent, were classified as crashes without injury. Another five had unknown severity. But 34 crashes involved a suspected serious, suspected minor or possible injury.
In other words, Crandall averaged roughly one reportable crash every three days in 2025.
Crandall Has Already Identified Its Major Crash Corridors
Crandall’s own comprehensive planning work provides something TxDOT’s annual city tables do not: a look at where the wrecks are clustering. The city’s Envision Crandall Comprehensive Plan examined 1,675 crashes from 2019 through mid 2024, with the heaviest concentrations along these corridors:
Approximately 69 percent of the crashes in that analysis resulted in no injury. Another 12 percent involved possible injuries, 8.1 percent involved non incapacitating injuries, 8.2 percent involved suspected serious injuries and 0.3 percent involved a death.
FM 741 represented approximately 15 percent of all crashes in Crandall during the study period.
Applied to the city’s 1,675 crash total, that is roughly 250 crashes associated with the FM 741 corridor in about five and a half years, an average of nearly 45 crashes a year, or nearly one every eight days, along that corridor alone. Crandall also found that outside US 175, most crashes involving serious injuries or fatalities occurred along FM 741 in north Crandall, according to the city’s Envision Crandall Comprehensive Plan.
US Highway 175 Is the Corridor Drivers Cannot Ignore
US 175 is different from an ordinary city street because of the sheer amount of traffic moving through Seagoville and Crandall. Seagoville economic development material lists approximately 44,000 to 47,200 vehicles per day on sections of US 175, meaning more than a million vehicle movements can occur along the corridor in a single month. Crandall’s comprehensive plan crash map likewise identifies US 175 as one of the city’s principal crash concentrations.
Recent Seagoville emergency responses reinforce how frequently the highway appears in day to day accident calls. During just one week, Aug. 3 through Aug. 9, the Seagoville Fire Department recorded seven motor vehicle accident responses. The listed locations were overwhelmingly US Highway and service road locations, including North US 175, South US 175, and eastbound and westbound service roads. The following week brought another crash response in the 2900 block of South US Highway 175.
Those fire calls are only a recent snapshot and should not be treated as a substitute for a multi year TxDOT roadway analysis. But they illustrate why residents repeatedly encounter wrecks, emergency vehicles and traffic delays along the corridor.
Malloy Bridge Road Keeps Appearing, Too
Malloy Bridge Road also deserves attention in Seagoville. Per Seagoville Fire Department incident reports:
- July 27 through Aug. 2Crash reported in the 3500 block of West Malloy Bridge Road, and a second crash at West Malloy Bridge Road and Bois D’Arc Road.
- Two Weeks LaterAnother motor vehicle accident reported in the 900 block of West Malloy Bridge Road.
- June 2026A serious rollover crash reported on Malloy Bridge Road.
That does not establish Malloy Bridge as Seagoville’s second highest crash road. TxDOT’s annual city reports do not publish a street by street ranking, and Shop in Seagoville will not manufacture one. But the recurring emergency responses make Malloy Bridge one of the corridors worth watching.
Seagoville’s Crashes Dropped Sharply in 2025
Seagoville’s overall numbers moved in the opposite direction from Crandall.
The decline from 128 to 87 represents a drop of about 32 percent in one year. The 2025 total included 53 crashes without injury, four suspected serious injury crashes, nine suspected minor injury crashes and 19 possible injury crashes. No fatal crash was recorded inside Seagoville in TxDOT’s 2025 city table.
The year before was considerably worse. Two fatal crashes killed three people in Seagoville during 2024, according to TxDOT.
Combine Has Far Fewer Crashes, But 2025 Included a Fatality
Combine’s raw numbers are much smaller. The city recorded 11 crashes in 2023, 14 in 2024 and only five in 2025. But one of those five crashes in 2025 was fatal.
That is a reminder of why crash volume and crash severity tell different stories. A city can have very few accidents overall while still experiencing a devastating traffic death.
Most Local Crashes Are Not Major Injury Wrecks
Perhaps the most useful number for everyday drivers is this one: of the 219 crashes recorded across the three cities in 2025, 143, about 65 percent, were classified as crashes without injury.
So while dramatic fatal wrecks understandably receive the most attention, the overwhelming majority of local crashes are the less spectacular collisions that tie up traffic, damage vehicles, increase insurance claims and send police or firefighters to local roads.
TxDOT’s classification of a crash as having no injury should not automatically be read as a minor fender bender. Some property damage crashes can be substantial even when nobody is hurt.
Where Should Drivers Be Most Alert
Based on currently available road level evidence, these are the local corridors warranting the most attention:
US Highway 175
The dominant regional highway through Seagoville and Crandall and a major crash concentration identified in Crandall’s comprehensive plan analysis.
FM 741, North Crandall
Approximately 15 percent of Crandall crashes in the city’s multi year study, or roughly 250 wrecks.
FM 148, Crandall
Identified by the city as another major crash concentration.
4th Street, Crandall
Also identified in the comprehensive plan crash analysis.
Malloy Bridge Road, Seagoville
Not yet supported by a complete multi year roadway ranking, but repeatedly appearing in recent emergency crash responses.
A complete Seagoville street by street ranking would require location specific TxDOT crash data rather than the annual city summary. TxDOT allows crash searches to be narrowed by individual highway, local street or intersection and by injury severity. That deeper analysis could answer an even more specific question.
Which intersections in Seagoville, Crandall and Combine have produced the most crashes, not just fatalities, but every reportable wreck?
For motorists who drive these roads every day, that may ultimately be the most useful statistic of all.
