Contributing Factors While a specific movement by one or multiple road users could result in a crash, there were a multitude of extraneous factors that affected the likelihood of a crash occurring. Table 10 lists some of the top contributing factors for crashes that occurred in the City of Fort Worth from 2019 to 2023. The factors that most often contributed to crashes and severe crashes were speed and distraction. Despite accounting for a lower number of crashes, crashes caused by “pedestrian failed to yield right of way” had the highest risk of resulting in a KSI outcome. More than half of those crashes caused death or severe injury when a pedestrian “failed to yield,” which may indicate a lack of convenient or safe walking paths and crossing locations. Crashes involving an intoxicated driver under the influence of drugs or alcohol also tended to be more likely to cause severe outcomes.
