A major crash shut down westbound I-10 at Bingle Road and Voss early Friday morning, backing up traffic in a corridor that's seen repeated incidents over the past three months.
Authorities responded to the wreck at 4:42 AM. The crash left the road severely congested during the early-morning hours, forcing drivers to seek alternate routes.
According to LTA data, this stretch of I-10 Katy westbound has logged four major crashes in the past 30 days. Over the past 90 days, all 15 incidents at this location have been major crashes. That pattern underscores why Friday's wreck hit hard: this is already a high-frequency crash zone.
If you're heading west on I-10 through this area, consider the I-610 loop, Westpark Tollway to the west, or Washington Avenue and Memorial Drive for inner-loop segments.
