This intersection has seen repeated collisions. According to TxDOT CRIS public crash records, the immediate corridor has recorded 47 crashes since January 2020, with no fatalities in that span. Contributing factors as recorded by the investigating officer show "Failed To Control Speed" as the most common cause, cited in 13 crashes at this location over the past six-plus years.
