Allom Long Trail has seen consistent crash activity over the past six years. According to state crash records from the Texas Department of Transportation, the corridor logged 30 crashes between January 2020 and the present — zero of them fatal. Contributing factors as recorded by the investigating officer, per TxDOT CRIS, show that "Failed To Drive In Single Lane" was the most common recorded cause, appearing in 10 of those crashes.
