Welp, it turns out that Texas is not just famous for its BBQ. Apparently the Lonestar state is also known for having some of the deadliest intersections in the country.

The Fang Law Firm dug into the data and discovered that the Lone Star State has not one, not two, but FOUR intersections that are prone to deadly crashes.

Now, you would assume that these intersections would be busy intersections, but according to the data, these intersections aren't smack dab in the middle of bustling cities, it’s the rural areas that take the lead in the deadly stakes.
