Durham and Eigel intersection sees 110 crashes in 30 days

A motor vehicle incident at Durham Drive and Eigel Street around 9:53 AM on Saturday, July 25 adds to one of the region's most collision-heavy intersections. This single location has recorded 110 incidents in the past 30 days, with 65 classified as major, according to LocalTrafficAccidents.com data.

Responding officers worked the scene as Saturday morning traffic moved through the area under broken clouds and 89-degree heat. While specific details on injuries, vehicle count, and lane closures weren't immediately available, the intersection's incident history underscores the frequency of crashes here — a pattern that extends well beyond this morning.

Over the past 90 days, this corner has logged 293 total incidents, 142 of them major. In the past 12 months, the location has recorded 593 incidents, including 4 fatal crashes. Saturdays are the single busiest day of the week at this intersection, with 35 incidents recorded over the past 90 days. The busiest hour, according to LTA data, is 7 to 8 PM, though crashes occur throughout the day at varied times rather than concentrating in one peak window.

Texas Department of Transportation crash records paint a longer picture. Since January 2020, this intersection and its immediate corridor have been the site of 1,578 crashes. Contributing factors as recorded by investigating officers, per TxDOT CRIS, show "Failed To Control Speed" as the leading factor, cited in 265 crashes. Hit-and-run incidents account for 9.5 percent of all crashes here — 309 out of 3,263 vehicles involved.

This morning's incident is the latest in a relentless sequence. For commuters navigating this intersection regularly, Saturday traffic often proves just as heavy as weekday rush hour. The data suggests this is not a location prone to isolated incidents, but rather a corridor where vehicle crashes occur with measurable regularity across all hours and all days of the week.
