This intersection in Fort Bend County has become a recurring problem. According to LocalTrafficAccidents.com data, the location has logged 10 major incidents over the past 30 days alone—and that pace tracks higher when you look back further. Over 90 days, the same intersection has recorded 34 total incidents, with 31 classified as major. Zoom out to a full year, and the count reaches 51 incidents, 47 of them major.

The timing of crashes here varies. While the single busiest hour is typically 5–6 PM (accounting for 5 crashes), collisions at this intersection happen throughout the day rather than clustering in one narrow window. That unpredictability makes it harder for commuters to anticipate when conditions might be worst.
