Major Crash at Monroe Road and Scranton Street Snarls Friday Afternoon Traffic in East Houston

A major traffic accident occurred on Friday, February 20, 2026, at the intersection of Monroe Road and Scranton Street in East Houston, causing significant disruptions to afternoon traffic and leaving multiple people injured. According to initial reports, this was a severe collision involving multiple vehicles. First responders were called to the scene and worked to clear the roadway and provide medical assistance to those involved. Investigations into the exact cause of the crash are ongoing, but incidents of this magnitude at busy intersections often involve factors such as driver error, failure to yield, speeding, or other traffic violations. If you were traveling through this area on Friday afternoon, you may have witnessed the accident or been directly impacted by the resulting traffic delays.

If you or a loved one was involved in this crash, it is critical that you take the right steps immediately following the accident. First and foremost, call 911 if you have not already done so to ensure emergency responders document the scene and provide necessary medical care. Even if you feel fine, seek medical attention promptly because some injuries may not be immediately apparent. While at the scene and afterward, document everything you can remember including the time, weather conditions, positions of all vehicles involved, and any visible damage. Take photographs if safely possible and gather contact information from any witnesses. However, do not give any recorded statements to insurance companies without first speaking with an attorney, as your words could be used against you later.

Under Texas law, you have important rights if you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident. Specifically, Texas follows a comparative negligence rule, which means you may still recover damages even if you were partially at fault for the crash, as long as your negligence was not greater than that of the other party or parties. Additionally, Texas law provides a two-year statute of limitations from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. This means you have two years to take legal action, but waiting too long can harm your case as evidence fades and memories become less reliable. Understanding these rights and acting within the proper timeframe is essential to protecting your interests.
