Major break down blocks traffic at busy intersection
Traffic at the intersection of Highways 190 and 96 in Jasper was slowed and at times blocked on Monday when a log truck hauling a full load broke down shortly before noon. The truck's transmission not only failed but basically came apart, spilling transmission fluid all over the highway. However, the volunteers of the Jasper Fire Department, along with workers from the Texas Department of Transportation, soon cleaned up the spilled fluid, and no injuries resulted from the incident.

Harris County gets $10 million in federal funding to address delays at east Houston train crossing
A railroad crossing on Lockwood Drive in east Houston is set to receive more than $10 million in federal funding to find a long-term solution to trains blocking traffic and delaying emergency responders. The crossing was selected by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for its Railroad Crossing Elimination/Crossing Safety Program.

The FRA said the project will improve rail safety by removing a crossing that is frequently blocked by trains, causing delays in emergency response times. That issue has drawn thousands of complaints from Houston residents to the federal government over the years. Data reviewed by 13 Investigates showed the FRA received 23,000 complaints since 2021 about stalled trains blocking intersections in Houston.

Many of the complaints are about emergency vehicles not being able to get through. Garcia told ABC13 that the
