Grand Parkway at FM 1093 accident early Sunday

A major accident early Sunday morning at West Grand Parkway South and FM 1093 Road in Richmond closed the intersection around 3:56 AM, adding another incident to a corridor that's seen significant crash activity in recent weeks.

Responding officers worked the scene as overcast skies hung over Fort Bend County. The specific details of what led to the collision—vehicle count, injury status, and lane closures—were limited in the initial response data, but the crash was severe enough to warrant a major classification.

This intersection sits in a corridor with serious traffic accident history.

The early-morning timing of this Sunday accident—when traffic is typically lighter—didn't prevent a major incident.

If you're traveling on West Grand Parkway South in the Richmond area, exercise caution; the intersection's history shows speed-related crashes remain a persistent factor here.
