A major accident at FM 1093 Road and FM 359 Road brought traffic to a standstill Friday afternoon around 12:02 PM. The crash happened in the middle of an exceptionally busy stretch for this Fort Bend County intersection.
This isn't an isolated incident. According to LocalTrafficAccidents.com data, this intersection has logged 19 incidents over the past 30 days—16 of them major crashes. The numbers paint a stark picture: accidents dominate the incident profile here, accounting for the vast majority of reported events over the past three months.
Friday's afternoon timing places it squarely in a pattern the data confirms. Looking back across 90 days of records, the intersection has remained consistently active, with Wednesdays emerging as the highest-incident day at seven crashes.
For context on county-wide traffic, Fort Bend reported 1,096 incidents across all 30 days—meaning this single intersection accounts for a notable concentration of the county's crash activity.
Historically, state crash records tell a revealing story. According to TxDOT CRIS public crash records dating back to January 2020, five crashes have occurred within a quarter-mile of this intersection, including one fatal. Contributing factors as recorded by the investigating officer, per TxDOT CRIS, show "Failed To Drive In Single Lane" as the leading factor, cited in three crashes.
Temperatures were climbing toward 90 degrees with scattered clouds overhead when Friday's crash occurred—conditions that typically don't pose visibility or traction hazards, but the sheer frequency of incidents at this location suggests other factors may be at play.
Responding officers worked to clear the scene. The exact duration of the lane closures and the full extent of any injuries weren't immediately detailed, but given the "major" classification, the disruption likely affected multiple lanes and created backups for drivers in the area.
Fort Bend County drivers treating this intersection as a regular commute route should remain alert. The collision data accumulated over months tells a consistent story: this is a location where accidents happen with troubling regularity, and Friday's incident is simply the latest addition to a growing count.
