US-59 at North Entrance Ramp crash; 15 incidents in 30 days

A motor vehicle crash at US-59 outbound near the northbound entrance ramp brought major disruption to the corridor early Saturday morning. The incident occurred at 1:20 AM on June 13, with crews responding to manage the scene and clear the roadway.

This stretch of US-59 has become a persistent flash point for crashes. According to LocalTrafficAccidents.com data, the location logged 15 incidents over the past 30 days—13 of them major—and 43 total crashes in the past 90 days. Over a 12-month span, the corridor has recorded 67 incidents, 54 classified as major. The single busiest hour here is 1–2 AM, though crashes occur throughout the day and night rather than concentrating in one peak window.

State crash records paint a broader picture. Per TxDOT CRIS public crash records, this quarter-mile stretch has seen 789 crashes since January 2020, including 9 fatalities. The most commonly recorded contributing factor by investigating officers is "Failed To Control Speed," cited in 293 crashes at the location over that period.

Weather conditions at the time of this incident were clear—80 degrees and open sky—so atmospheric factors did not contribute. The roadway was cleared following standard incident response.

The corridor continues to see concentrated incident activity, particularly on Sundays, which have recorded 7 incidents over the 90-day window. Drivers using this entrance ramp during early morning and late-night hours should remain alert and adjust speed accordingly for the specific roadway conditions.
