A new study identifies the intersection of Henderson Street with Belknap and Weatherford streets as the most dangerous location for vehicle collisions in Fort Worth. The analysis, conducted by Patterson Law Group using data from the Texas Department of Transportation, covers nearly 81,000 crashes reported in the city between January 2021 and December 2025.
The Henderson intersection, located just south of the Trinity River near the Tarrant County College Trinity River Campus, recorded 197 crashes and 73 injuries during the study period. The report attributes a portion of these incidents to lane confusion on the one-way pair of Belknap and Weatherford streets. Specifically, 14% of vehicles traveling straight on those roads collided with adjacent cars making left turns.
Citywide, approximately 31% of intersection crashes involved a vehicle turning left.
Another significant crash site is the intersection of Belknap and Weatherford streets with Grove Street, which experienced 143 crashes and 33 injuries. Other high-volume locations include East Seminary Drive at Interstate 35W with 183 crashes, and North Main Street and Northwest 28th Street with 142 crashes.
The study noted that crashes at North Main and Northwest 28th increased more rapidly than at any other top-10 intersection, with most occurring during weekday afternoon rush hours.
Temporal patterns in the data indicate that Fridays are the most common day for accidents, and the highest risk period is between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. Although many incidents occurred during dawn or dusk when visibility is reduced, the late afternoon peak remains the most dangerous window.
Officer Daniel Segura of the Fort Worth Police Department advised motorists to reduce speed and maintain awareness of surrounding traffic when crossing intersections.
