A crash on IH-69 Southwest northbound at Westpark Tollway early Saturday morning backed up traffic in the predawn hours. The wreck happened at 3:56 AM on September 12, 2026.
The incident forced at least one northbound lane closed while crews worked the scene. Delays built quickly on the otherwise light early-morning corridor, though traffic volume at that hour kept the backup from expanding into typical rush-period gridlock.
