By fatal crashes from 2015 to 2024, Interstate 10 was number 1 of the 147 routes of Texas with a page.

Fatal crashes on Interstate 10 rose by 28.6% between the ten years 2005 to 2014 (773) and the ten years 2015 to 2024 (994).

In Texas they rose by 19.0% between the same years.

From 2015 to 2024, a driver was recorded as drinking in 20.6% of fatal crashes on Interstate 10 and 25.5% in Texas.

The set of first files, known as the Annual Report File (ARF), is released following the crash year. The ARF is replaced about a year later with a final file, which contains additional cases or updates to cases that had become available after the ARF was released.

Note: FARS records a driver as drinking when police reported alcohol involvement or a test of the driver was positive for alcohol. It is not NHTSA's alcohol-impaired measure. One crash can be in two rows. NHTSA's definitions

Note that alcohol data is often missing. For that reason, this data element may under-count the actual number of drinking drivers.
