A major crash on Westview Drive sent at least one person to the hospital early Wednesday morning. The wreck happened around 6:40 AM on September 23, and responding officers worked the scene as rush-hour traffic began to build.
This stretch of Westview has become a trouble spot. According to LocalTrafficAccidents.com data, the location logged 27 incidents over the past 30 days—11 of them major crashes like this one. Over a longer window, the corridor recorded 78 total incidents in the past 90 days, with 41 classified as major. That's a crash roughly every day.
The data tells a story of frequency, not geography. Westview Drive is a residential road, and most crashes here fall outside the traditional weekday commute peaks. The single busiest hour is 11 AM to noon, when seven crashes occurred over the analysis period. This morning's crash, though, hit during a lighter window—a reminder that incidents aren't confined to the hours commuters expect them.
When looking at longer state records, the broader corridor near this location shows a deeper pattern. Per TxDOT CRIS public crash records covering January 2020 to the present, 464 crashes occurred within roughly a quarter-mile of this address, with 2 of those fatal. Contributing factors as recorded by the investigating officer, per TxDOT CRIS, show "Failed To Control Speed" as the leading factor, cited in 122 crashes. The hit-and-run rate in the corridor sits at 10.3 percent—99 of the 958 units involved in crashes simply left the scene.
Weather wasn't a factor this morning. Clear skies and 79 degrees made for decent driving conditions, which means visibility and road surface weren't contributors to this particular wreck.
The incident was cleared, and traffic returned to normal flow. Responding officers handled the scene, and the injured were transported for treatment. No additional details on lane closures or the exact number of vehicles involved are available at this time.
