A major crash shut down the intersection of Old Spanish Trail and Almeda Road early Monday morning, backing up traffic during the start of the workweek.
The collision occurred at 5:33 AM on October 12, forcing crews to clear the scene and manage a significant backup at what's a key crossing point in Harris County's morning traffic flow. With 11,571 incidents reported countywide over the past 30 days, Monday mornings stay consistently heavy — and this intersection closure added immediate pressure to routes feeding into the area.
Emergency crews responded to clear the wreckage and get lanes reopened. The extent of injuries isn't yet confirmed, but given the major severity classification, at least one person was likely hurt in the collision.
If you're heading through Old Spanish Trail or Almeda this morning, expect delays or take an alternate route around the intersection until the all-clear comes through. The early hour means this hit commuters just as they're gearing up for the day, so allow extra time if you're traveling in that corridor.
