The Panhandle and South Plains around Amarillo and Lubbock feature long, straight highways — I-27, I-40, US-84, US-87 — where high speeds and monotony lead to fatigue and inattention. Crashes at highway speed are frequently severe.
Long, Fast, and Lonely
Agricultural and energy traffic adds heavy vehicles to these roads.
Severe Weather and Dust
The region faces blizzards, ice, and sudden dust storms that can drop visibility to near zero, causing pileups. Wildlife and livestock also pose hazards on rural stretches.
Potter, Randall, Lubbock, and surrounding counties handle these rural-highway cases.
