Granbury Car Wreck Guide
Short answer: After a wreck in Granbury or anywhere in Hood County, get checked within a few days even if you feel okay, and call 911 for anything serious. Your PIP pays first, whoever was at fault. Let the other driver's insurer wait: no recorded statement and no signature until a lawyer has looked.
US 377 is the story
US 377 had 1,122 of the 2,179 crashes inside Granbury city limits from 2021 to 2025, more than half, in our analysis of TxDOT records. Sixteen people died in crashes in the city in that time.
TxDOT's own corridor study found that 33% of fatal crashes on US 377 happened between Stephenville and Granbury, and that 55% of the highway has a crash rate above the statewide average (US 377 corridor update).
