I'm trying to figure out the location as well. However, the article only says "near loop 121 and hwy 190." As a former dispatcher, I know that sometimes accidents are not directly located ON the location given, but rather crossroads are given to guide responders. I pray that the driver of the element recovers quickly and fully.

I'm with Amber on this...I take Lp 121 every day and still can not pinpoint the location of this accident. Can someone shed some light? Also, I hope everyone is alright!

I'm trying to picture where exactly this accident took place. The intersection of Loop 121 and Hwy 190 has a light. Right there between the Shell and Valero stations. The video was way too dark to tell anything about where it was. Can someone please give me a better idea of where this "blind" intersection is so that I may avoid it? I'm glad everyone is ok. I will pray for the gentleman in the Element. Do we know the status of his condition?
