The timing of crashes here varies. While the single busiest hour is 7–8 AM with an average of 4 crashes, incidents occur throughout the day rather than clustering in one window. Thursdays have historically been the highest-incident day at this location, with 9 crashes recorded in the past 90 days.
When officers investigate crashes at this intersection, they consistently point to one dominant factor. Contributing factors as recorded by investigating officers, per TxDOT CRIS, show "Failed To Control Speed" as the leading contributing factor, cited in 134 crashes since 2020. Hit-and-run incidents also represent a concern — 9.7% of crashes here involve a driver who leaves the scene, accounting for 78 of the 801 vehicles involved in crashes over that same period.
