Plainview straddles I-27 halfway between Lubbock and Amarillo, so local driving mixes interstate speed with US 70 and US 87 farm traffic. Harvey Insurance writes auto coverage for those miles — and for the hail that rolls across Hale County every storm season.

Harvey Insurance is a trusted local agency serving families and businesses across Texas, Oklahoma & Arkansas — backed by America’s most reputable carriers.
Plainview is one of the few South Plains towns built around an interstate, so a typical week mixes I-27 runs to Lubbock or Amarillo with errands on Olton Road, 5th Street, and the US 70 and US 87 routes through the county. That interstate traffic brings real collision exposure, especially when speeds and weather collide. And the weather is no small thing here: Hale County takes hard hail every spring that can total glass and dimple body panels, while high winds whip up dust that hides the road. Comprehensive coverage handles the hail, solid liability and collision limits cover the highway miles, and Harvey Insurance is the local agency that picks up the phone when you need to file.

In Hale County, auto claims cluster around two things: severe Plains weather and the steady flow of interstate and highway traffic through town.
Hale County draws severe spring storms off the caprock, and the hail they drop can pit hoods, dent roofs, and shatter windshields across Plainview in a matter of minutes. Vehicles parked at home, downtown, or in the Walmart and college lots are exposed, which is why comprehensive coverage is essential here.
I-27 runs right through Plainview, so locals share the road with high-speed cars and freight moving between Lubbock and Amarillo. Merging on and off the interstate and the speed difference with through-traffic make it a leading source of serious collision claims.
High winds across the open county whip up dust that can cut visibility to near zero on I-27 and the US highways. Sudden brownouts at interstate speed are a recipe for pileups, and they account for some of the worst multi-vehicle wrecks in the area.
An interstate and two U.S. highways meet in Plainview, carrying everything from cross-state freight to local farm traffic through Hale County.
The interstate spine connecting Plainview to Lubbock 45 miles south and Amarillo to the north. It carries the heaviest, fastest traffic in the county, and the on- and off-ramps and frontage roads through town are where most of the high-impact collision claims originate.
US 70 runs east-west through Plainview, linking it to Floydada and the cotton country beyond. It carries farm trucks and grain trailers year-round, and the mix of slow heavy vehicles and passenger cars makes its intersections frequent claim spots.
US 87 shadows the interstate through the area and serves as the business route and frontage corridor where much of Plainview’s local shopping and commuter traffic concentrates. Steady stop-and-go movement here drives a lot of the town’s lower-speed fender-benders.
