---

A motor vehicle incident at Allegheny Street and Yellowstone Boulevard early Monday morning added to a troubling pattern at this Harris County intersection. The crash occurred at 3:05 AM on June 1.

This intersection has become a consistent flashpoint for collisions. According to LocalTrafficAccidents.com data, 41 incidents have occurred here in the past 30 days—20 of them major. Over the past 90 days, the location has seen 123 total incidents, including 63 major crashes and 4 fatalities. Since January 2020, per TxDOT CRIS public crash records, approximately 803 crashes have been recorded within a quarter-mile of this intersection.

The 3:05 AM timing places this incident outside the corridor's typical peak window.

Tuesday is the highest-incident day at this location, with 17 crashes logged over the past 90 days.

Conditions at the time were clear—broken clouds and 77 degrees—so weather was not a factor. Responding officers handled the scene according to standard incident procedures. No information about injuries, vehicle counts, or lane closures was available from responding authorities.

Contributing factors recorded by investigating officers at this intersection over time show a persistent pattern. Per TxDOT CRIS, "Failed To Control Speed" is the most common officer-recorded contributing factor, cited in 172 crashes at or near this location since January 2020. The hit-and-run rate here stands at 12.8%, with 209 of 1,632 vehicles involved in crashes leaving the scene.

The data speaks clearly: this intersection demands attention from anyone traveling through it. Whether you're passing through at 3 AM or during the lunch-hour peak, the numbers show this is a location where crashes cluster at a rate significantly above typical intersections in the region. Harris County logged 19,205 incidents overall in the past 30 days, with 12 fatalities. This single intersection accounts for a disproportionate share of that burden.
