A motor vehicle incident at IH-10 eastbound near the Gregg Street entrance ramp shut down traffic early Sunday morning at 2:25 AM. Responding officers worked to clear the roadway and restore flow to this frequently troubled stretch of the freeway.
The crash is the latest in a string of collisions at this location. According to LTA data, this corridor has logged 13 incidents in the past 30 days—11 of them major. Over the past 12 months, 104 total incidents have been recorded here, with 72 classified as major and two resulting in fatalities.
The broader pattern is even more stark when viewed against state records. Per TxDOT CRIS public crash records, 569 crashes have occurred within a quarter-mile of this corridor since January 2020, including seven fatal crashes. Among those incidents, "Failed To Control Speed" was the most common contributing factor as recorded by investigating officers, cited in 159 cases.
This location experiences crashes across multiple times of day rather than clustering into a single rush period. The single busiest hour is 5–6 PM, when five crashes occurred over the 90-day observation window, though incidents here are spread throughout the week and at varied times.
Weather conditions at the time of the early-morning incident were clear, with few clouds and a temperature of 76 degrees. Road surface conditions and visibility were not compromised.
No information on injuries, vehicles involved, or final lane status is available at this time. Drivers heading eastbound on IH-10 near Gregg should expect continued caution in this area. The roadway has since been restored to normal operations.
