This is the 18th crash LTA has documented at this location in the past 30 days—a stretch of residential roadway that's become a persistent flashpoint in Harris County. According to LTA data, 11 of those 30-day incidents were major events like this one. Over a 90-day period, the location has seen 84 total crashes, with 38 classified as major. The trend extends back further: in the past 12 months, 201 crashes have occurred here, including 110 major incidents and 3 fatalities.
What makes this location stand out is that most of its crashes fall outside the typical weekday rush hour window.
