Mondays have been the busiest day at this location, with five crashes recorded over the past 90 days, per LTA data. Though the 7 to 8 AM hour sees the most activity on this street, crashes here occur throughout the day rather than concentrating in a single window.
TxDOT CRIS public crash records show that "Failed To Control Speed" has been the leading contributing factor at this corridor, cited in 11 crashes since January 2020. State records also indicate a 7.1% hit-and-run rate at this location.
Conditions at the time of the crash were clear—broken clouds and 78 degrees—so weather did not appear to be a factor. The road was reopened after debris removal and scene clearance, though exact timing of full reopening was not immediately available. Commuters using this residential route should expect residual delays as crews finished their work.
