SH 99 southbound crash at FM 1093; 9 incidents in 30 days

A major accident shut down southbound SH 99 at FM 1093 Road in Richmond early Wednesday morning, snarling traffic during the start of the commute. The crash happened at 7:18 AM on June 3, 2026.

Southbound lanes were blocked as crews worked to clear the debris and assess the situation. Delays backed up on the southbound side as traffic diverted around the incident. The road remained impacted through the mid-morning hours.

This stretch of SH 99 has become a frequent trouble spot. According to LTA data, nine crashes have hit this exact location in just the past 30 days—six of them major incidents like this one. Over the past 90 days, the corridor has logged 30 total crashes, with 20 classified as major. The pattern extends further back: 37 total crashes in the past 12 months, 25 of them major.

The timing of crashes here varies rather than clustering in a single peak window. While the single busiest hour is 6–7 PM—when five crashes occurred over the 90-day period—accidents happen throughout the day and night, making this a location where drivers can't let their guard down at any particular time.

Statewide data provides additional context. According to TxDOT CRIS public crash records going back to January 2020, this quarter-mile corridor has seen 83 crashes over roughly six years, with no fatalities recorded during that span. The most common officer-recorded contributing factor is "Failed To Control Speed," cited in 32 of those crashes. Hit-and-run incidents account for 4.5 percent of the crashes here.

Fort Bend County as a whole recorded 784 incidents in the past 30 days, including one fatal crash. Wednesday's accident adds to the county's ongoing traffic pressure.

Weather at the time was overcast with temperatures around 83 degrees—not a factor in this particular incident. Crews were expected to have the road cleared within a few hours of the initial impact.
