Harris County emergency responders handled the major crash on this residential stretch. Conditions at the time were clear — scattered clouds and 83°F — but that didn't prevent the collision.

Fridays appear to be the most active day here — the past 90 days show 12 crashes on Fridays alone.

At 12:19 AM, this incident fell outside that window, underscoring that collisions here happen around the clock.
