A major crash tied up traffic at South Post Oak Road and Bellfort around 12:26 PM on Friday, September 11, 2026, in the early afternoon.
Responding officers worked to clear the scene. Details on lane closures and clearance time weren't immediately available, but this intersection has become a high-volume crash site. According to LocalTrafficAccidents.com data, the location logged 53 total incidents over the past 30 days, with 22 of those classified as major crashes. Over a 90-day window, the intersection recorded 130 total incidents, 57 marked as major.
The broader picture is striking: in the past 12 months, this single intersection has seen 368 total incidents, 199 of them major. That pace places this location among the most active crash sites in the region.
Per TxDOT CRIS public crash records, since January 2020, the corridor has recorded 466 crashes, resulting in two fatalities. Contributing factors as recorded by the investigating officer show "Failed To Control Speed" as the leading factor, cited in 89 crashes. Hit-and-run incidents account for 11.2 percent of all crashes here—105 of 934 vehicles involved.
According to state crash records, Toyota vehicles appear most frequently in crash reports at this location (138 crashes), though this reflects raw frequency only. Nearly 54 percent of vehicles involved were U.S.-made, per CRIS data.
Interestingly, this intersection doesn't follow typical rush-hour patterns. Most crashes here fall outside the traditional weekday commute peaks. The single busiest hour for crashes is 11 PM to midnight, with nine incidents recorded in that window over the analysis period. Mondays show the highest incident count across the 90-day window, with 15 crashes logged on that day of the week.
Weather at the time of Friday's incident was clear—few clouds and 94 degrees—so conditions weren't a contributing factor.
If you're in the area, expect delays until the scene clears. Check real-time traffic updates for the latest on lane status and estimated clearance time.
