A major crash at 11401 Greenspoint Drive sent at least one person to the hospital early Tuesday morning. The wreck happened at 5:11 AM, when the road was mostly empty—but this location's incident history tells a different story about safety on this stretch.
According to LTA data, this corridor has logged 40 crashes in the past 30 days, with 28 of those classified as major. Over the past 12 months, the location has recorded 156 total incidents, 93 of them major. The sheer volume of crashes here—especially the concentration of major-severity incidents—stands out sharply against typical residential street patterns across Harris County.
Responding officers worked the scene as morning light came up. Conditions at the time were clear, with temperatures around 78 degrees. The roadway's early-morning emptiness didn't prevent the collision from happening.
State crash records paint a fuller picture of what's been happening at this location. Per TxDOT CRIS public crash records, the corridor has logged 629 crashes within about a quarter-mile since January 2020, with 2 fatalities recorded. Contributing factors as recorded by the investigating officer show "Failed To Control Speed" cited in 185 of those crashes—far and away the most common factor officers have noted over that six-year span.
The data also shows a hit-and-run rate of 14.9% at this location, meaning nearly 15 percent of the 1,315 vehicles involved in crashes here simply left the scene.
Timing at this location doesn't follow typical commute patterns. Most crashes here fall outside weekday rush hour peaks; the single busiest hour is 12–1 PM, when 10 crashes have occurred. Fridays have been the highest-incident day over the past 90 days, with 22 crashes recorded on that day alone.
The investigation into this morning's crash is ongoing. No word yet on the condition of the person transported or the exact circumstances that led to the collision. Authorities typically clear this type of incident within a few hours unless additional complications arise.
If you're in the area later today, expect standard traffic as the scene is cleared and normal operations resume.
**Update (1:15 PM CT):** The major crash at 11401 GREENSPOINT DR, first reported at 5:11 AM, has cleared after more than 8 hours. All lanes have reopened and normal traffic flow has resumed in the area.
