A major motor vehicle incident at Blodgett Street and Delano Street brought traffic to a standstill Sunday morning around 9:50 AM. The crash underscores what LTA data reveals about this intersection: it's become one of Harris County's most collision-prone locations.
According to LocalTrafficAccidents.com data, this intersection has logged 17 incidents over the past 30 days—12 of them major. Over the past 90 days, the count climbs to 64 total incidents, with 24 classified as major. That's a pattern that stands out even in a region that saw 17,416 incidents countywide in the same 30-day window.
What makes this Sunday morning crash particularly noteworthy is the timing. Sundays are the busiest day here, with 13 incidents recorded over a 90-day span. The data also shows this intersection skews toward weekend crashes rather than weekday rush-hour incidents. The single busiest hour at this location, per LTA records, is midnight to 1 AM—suggesting the patterns that drive crashes here aren't typical commute patterns.
Temperature hit 93 degrees at the time of the incident under overcast skies, with clear visibility. Contributing factors as recorded by the investigating officer, per TxDOT CRIS public crash records, show "Failed To Drive In Single Lane" as the leading factor cited in crashes at this location, with 69 crashes attributed to that factor since January 2020.
Historically, this intersection near the Harris County line has seen substantial collision activity. TxDOT CRIS records document 467 crashes within about a quarter-mile of this location since January 2020, with no fatalities. The hit-and-run rate at the corridor stands at 16.5%, meaning roughly one in six crashes involved a driver who left the scene.
Details on lane closures, vehicle count, and estimated clearance time were not immediately available. Responding officers worked the scene as of late morning. The intersection's history suggests Sunday mornings warrant extra caution from drivers navigating this area.
