A major crash at Sam Houston Parkway South and Meadowglen Lane brought traffic to a crawl this morning. The wreck happened at 6:34 AM on Thursday, August 27, and emergency crews responded quickly to the scene.

The crash tied up the freeway during the height of the Thursday morning commute, with multiple lanes affected. Drivers heading through the area faced significant delays as responders worked to clear the roadway and move vehicles.

Harris County experienced 16 fatal incidents across the county in the past 30 days, according to LocalTrafficAccidents.com data. This morning's wreck added to the 17,872 total incidents recorded countywide over the same period.

If you're heading to or through that corridor this morning, expect residual delays even as crews cleared the scene. Check real-time conditions before you head out — alternates may save you time depending on your route.
