Crashes in Houston’s OST-South Union Neighborhood
The OST-South Union area is a heavily traveled corridor that connects residential communities with major roadways like the South Fwy. Intersections such as Yellowstone Blvd are especially vulnerable to injury collisions due to their proximity to freeway access ramps, signal timing issues, and fast-moving traffic.
According to Houston traffic safety data, neighborhoods near freeway interchanges often see elevated crash rates, particularly on weekends. Contributing factors may include sudden lane changes, driver inattention, or traffic congestion.
Drivers in these areas should remain extra cautious, especially when turning or entering intersections. Slowing down and maintaining a clear view of cross traffic are key to preventing such incidents.
