A major crash shut down westbound US 90A at W Grand Parkway S in Richmond Wednesday morning at 11:22 AM, backing up traffic on one of Fort Bend County's busiest corridors.
The collision left westbound lanes blocked, trapping drivers on what should've been a straightforward midday commute. Emergency crews responded to the scene, working to clear the roadway and assess the situation. Details on the number of vehicles involved and injury status weren't immediately available.
This stretch of US 90A has become a recurring trouble spot. According to LTA data, the intersection has logged 4 incidents in the past 30 days, with 3 of those rated major—meaning significant delays or lane closures. Over the past 90 days, that number climbs to 9 total incidents, 8 of them major. Wednesdays are particularly active here; the corridor saw 4 crashes on Wednesdays alone over the past three months.
Fort Bend County as a whole recorded 696 traffic incidents in the past 30 days, but this specific location punches above its weight in crash frequency relative to other county intersections.
If you're heading west on 90A through Richmond, expect delays or consider alternate routing until the scene clears. Traffic conditions should begin improving once emergency personnel finish their response, but residual backups may linger as volume rebuilds on the corridor.
