A crash on I-69 northbound at FM 1314 in Montgomery County backed up traffic early Monday morning. The wreck happened at 5:39 AM.
Northbound lanes were impacted, with crews working to clear the debris and reopen the corridor. The crash added to a concentrated stretch of trouble on this segment — according to LocalTrafficAccidents.com data, four major crashes have hit I-69 northbound at FM 1314 over the past 30 days, all of them serious enough to require full response.
If you're heading north on I-69 through this area, expect delays through the morning. US-59 frontage roads offer a north-south alternative, or you can route southwest through Hillcroft or Fondren. SH-288 southbound is another option depending on your destination.
This location has a longer history of volatility as well. Texas Department of Transportation crash records show 183 crashes within about a quarter-mile of this intersection since January 2020. Contributing factors as recorded by investigating officers, per TxDOT CRIS, show that "Failed To Control Speed" was the most common officer-recorded contributing factor at this corridor, cited in 54 crashes over that period.
Weather at the time of the crash was clear — few clouds and 75 degrees — so conditions weren't a factor in this one.
The road should reopen as soon as the wreckage is cleared and lanes are inspected. Monitor LTA for updates as the morning develops.
