CELINA, TX : Uptick in sun glare-related crashes prompts North Texas police department to put out warning on Thursday, 20th October 2022

The Celina Police Department has noticed an uptick in traffic collisions because of blinding sun glare and as the seasons change.

"A lot of it is going east-west," said Celina Police Chief John Cullison. "With the sun coming up in the morning and going down in the evening it just flips the script. Some people encounter that twice at day."

The chief took WFAA to the Collin County Outer Loop, where some of the blind spots are happening. Cullison said the "handful" of crashes were enough to put a warning out to the public and to educate them with some tips.

"I'm no scientist but when the earth and sun tilt just right, it makes a mess for drivers in Collin County," said Marc Rylander, a 13-year Celina resident.
