A major crash at Bagby Street and Holman Street brought traffic to a halt early Friday morning. The collision occurred at 1:34 AM on June 12, and responding officers found a scene that reflects an intersection struggling under the weight of repeated incidents.
The numbers tell the story. This intersection has logged 93 crashes in the past 30 days alone, according to LocalTrafficAccidents.com data. Over the past 90 days, the count climbs to 359 total incidents—180 of them major—with one fatality recorded in that window. The intersection has seen 534 crashes over the past year. That's not a one-off problem. That's a pattern.
State crash records paint a picture of what's happening here. Per TxDOT CRIS public crash records, this corridor has logged 2,472 crashes since January 2020, with seven fatalities. Contributing factors as recorded by investigating officers show "Failed To Control Speed" as the most common factor, cited in 600 crashes at this location. The hit-and-run rate sits at 11.3%—575 of the vehicles involved in crashes here simply left the scene.
Friday's crash occurred in clear conditions at 80 degrees, so weather wasn't a factor this time. But the early-morning timing doesn't mean this intersection is safer at odd hours. Though the single busiest hour here is 10 to 11 AM—when 16 crashes have occurred—the LTA real-time database shows crashes spread across all hours, with Wednesdays accounting for 41 incidents in the past 90 days. There's no safe time at this intersection.
The scope of this intersection's incident history exceeds what any single crash can illustrate. This isn't about one driver or one moment. It's about an intersection where nearly 100 crashes have happened in 30 days—major incidents included. The 46 major crashes in that same 30-day window mean serious damage and serious risk, again and again.
For commuters in the area, the practical takeaway is clear: avoid this intersection when possible. If you need to cross here, treat it with extreme caution. The data shows what's at stake.
