A major crash at the intersection of Booth Street and Fulton Street left the area disrupted Monday morning. The crash happened at 8:58 AM, adding to what's already been a collision-heavy month at this location.
Responding officers found a significant incident that required a full emergency response. The intersection saw heavy congestion as crews cleared debris and assessed the situation. While the immediate backup has since cleared, the incident underscores just how active this corner has become.
According to LTA data, this intersection has recorded 17 incidents over the past 30 days—6 of them major crashes. Over a 90-day window, that count rises to 27 total incidents with 7 classified as major. Looking back over the past year, the numbers tell an even starker story: 86 total incidents at this location, 31 of them major.
