“These aren’t fender benders, these are violent violent crashes. I mean it looks like you’ve stomped on a tin can.”
Mitch Borden/Marfa Public Radio
For a long time, 911 calls for car wrecks and traumatic accidents in Glasscock County were few and far between. But the calls have now doubled.
From Marfa Public Radio:
Driving in the Permian Basin can be dangerous. Roads are packed, huge commercial trucks barrel down the highways, drivers can be careless. The rate of fatal car crashes in the region is rising steeply.
This increase can be difficult and personal for first responders who see these wrecks and take care of the injured.
