A motor vehicle incident at Memorial Drive and Black N Post Oak Lane around 7:33 AM Saturday morning has disrupted traffic at an intersection that's become increasingly troublesome over the past month.
According to LocalTrafficAccidents.com data, this intersection has logged 33 incidents in the past 30 days alone—27 of them classified as major. Over 90 days, the count climbs to 110 total incidents, with 84 rated major severity. The pattern extends further back: since January 2020, TxDOT CRIS public crash records document 551 crashes within a quarter-mile of this location.
The timing of incidents here varies considerably. While the single busiest hour falls between 6 and 7 PM (11 crashes in that window over the past month), crashes occur throughout the day and week—Saturday morning's incident is consistent with that scattered pattern. According to state crash records from the Texas Department of Transportation, the most frequently recorded contributing factor across the corridor is "Failed To Control Speed," cited in 270 crashes.
Weather conditions at the time of Saturday's incident were relatively benign—broken clouds and 83 degrees—though that doesn't necessarily correlate with causation. The intersection's high incident count reflects a broader pattern of crashes here regardless of seasonal or weather-related variables.
For context, Harris County logged 18,234 incidents over the same 30-day window, with 35 fatalities. This single intersection accounts for a notable share of that activity.
