A major crash on IH-610 South Loop eastbound at SH-225 shut multiple lanes Monday morning around 6:25 AM, backing up traffic across the inner loop during the start of the commute.

The crash created significant delays as crews worked to clear the wreckage. Eastbound traffic was heavily impacted, with backups extending well into the morning drive. If you're heading that direction, expect delays or consider alternate routes.

According to LocalTrafficAccidents.com data, this intersection has been active — six major crashes have occurred here in the past 30 days. This location consistently sees crash activity; over the past year, 26 major incidents have been reported at this spot on the loop.

If you need to move through the area, surface streets paralleling the loop offer alternatives. Westheimer, Richmond, or Bellaire are options on the west loop side, while Irvington or Fulton can work if you're heading north. Check current traffic before you go — conditions should improve as crews clear the scene, but delays are expected through the morning commute window.

Stay alert out there.
