October 11, 2026 at 07:40 AMBy Dennis R. Mundy, Executive Editor📍 Harris County

A motor vehicle incident at West Orem Drive and Black Green Colling Park Drive around 7:40 AM on Sunday, October 11, disrupted the area on what should have been a quiet Sunday morning. Responding officers worked to clear the crash and reopen the intersection.

The specifics of how many vehicles were involved and whether anyone was injured remain under investigation. Crews completed the clearance, and traffic flow returned to normal as the morning progressed.

This intersection sits within a quarter-mile corridor that's recorded 42 crashes since January 2020, per TxDOT CRIS public crash records. Contributing factors as recorded by the investigating officer show "Failed To Yield Right Of Way - Stop Sign" as the leading factor, cited in 12 crashes across that stretch. The hit-and-run rate at this location stands at 9.6% — meaning roughly one in ten vehicle incidents involved a driver who left the scene.

Harris County as a whole logged 11,719 incidents over the same 30-day period, including 2 fatalities. Sunday morning crashes, while less common than weekday incidents, still demand attention and caution from drivers navigating intersections.
