A pregnant woman was injured in a two-vehicle crash at 112 W Tidwell Rd around 10:37 AM on Monday, August 10, 2026. A Toyota and BMW collided in the impact, and authorities responded to the scene.
Light rain was falling at the time of the crash, with temperatures near 90 degrees. The roadway was affected, and the incident required emergency response.
This location carries a significant recent crash history. According to LTA real-time incident database, Tidwell Rd has recorded 19 incidents in the past 30 days—15 of them major. Over the past 90 days, the corridor saw 55 total incidents, with 26 classified as major. The pattern extends further back: in the past 12 months, 132 crashes occurred at this location, including 63 major incidents and 4 fatalities.
Mondays appear particularly active here. LTA data shows 10 incidents occurred on Mondays over the past 90 days, making it the single busiest day of the week. The corridor does see crashes at varied times rather than concentrating in one peak window, though the 5-6 PM hour represents the single busiest hour, with 6 crashes recorded during that window.
TxDOT CRIS public crash records provide additional context. Since January 2020, the corridor has logged 255 crashes within about a quarter-mile. Contributing factors as recorded by the investigating officer show "Failed To Control Speed" as the leading factor, cited in 73 crashes. The hit-and-run rate at this location stands at 14.2 percent.
Wet pavement conditions are relevant here. TxDOT reports wet conditions contributed to over 14,000 Texas crashes in the most recent annual reporting period, underscoring the risk posed by rain on roadways already seeing frequent incidents.
Details on the extent of the pregnant woman's injuries and the final disposition of both vehicles were not immediately available. The incident was cleared from the roadway following standard response procedures.
