Blood centers in the area are warning of a potential shortage as the summer season approaches. This time of year is often referred to as the 100 deadliest days, spanning from Memorial Day to Labor Day, when serious crashes tend to increase. Hospitals are preparing for the busy season, and the need for blood donors is urgent.

The Red Cross has noted that a relatively small percentage of eligible individuals donate blood, with fewer than 3% of age-eligible people participating. Further details on the blood shortage and the call for donors can be found through local sources, including CBS Texas.
