A major crash is being reported on Hwy. 59 southbound just before the Northpark Drive exit in the Kingwood area as of 9:00 AM. Multiple lanes are reportedly blocked as crews respond to the scene. Drivers should expect possible delays, slow down when approaching the area and consider an alternate route if possible.

Details regarding the number of vehicles involved or possible injuries have not yet been confirmed. Please share any updates in the comments and stay safe this morning.

Kingwood Middle School began using the Evolv Weapons Detection system yesterday, August 12th as part of Humble ISD’s expanded campus safety procedures. The system has been installed at the school’s main entrance and bus entrance, and all middle school students will be required to pass through it when entering the building each day. Humble ISD has previously used the technology at district high schools and Turner Stadium.

School officials noted that Evolv is a weapons detection system rather than a traditional metal detector. Certain everyday items, including laptops, large binders, metal water bottles, umbrellas and eyeglass cases, may trigger an alert and could need to be removed before students pass through.

Students arriving early for athletics or other school activities will also be screened. KMS said slight delays may occur as students adjust to the new process and encouraged students to arrive before 8:15 AM.

Humble ISD is introducing new safety requirements for students who ride and park e-bikes or e-scooters on district campuses during the 2026-2027 school year according to an email sent out to parents. Beginning September 8th, students will be required to display a permit sticker showing that both the student and a parent have completed the district’s required safety training and acknowledged its riding guidelines.

Parents must first review the district’s E-Bike/E-Scooter Safety Presentation and complete a Parent Signature Form. Students will then complete their own safety presentation and acknowledgement before receiving the permit sticker. The district says lawful Class 1 and Class 2 e-bikes and motor-assisted scooters may be used in accordance with Texas law. Class 3 e-bikes may only be used by students who are at least 15 years old.

Humble ISD is also reminding students to wear properly fitted helmets, follow traffic laws and operate e-bikes and e-scooters responsibly.

New information has been shared regarding the Houston Police presence reported yesterday at Planet Fitness, located at 600 Kingwood Drive in Kingwood. According to one of the alleged victims, police were called after credit cards were reportedly taken from an unlocked locker inside the women’s locker room. The victim said she received a fraud alert roughly 20 minutes later showing an attempted $417.76 purchase at a nearby Walgreens. Another card was also allegedly taken and used or attempted at nearby businesses.

The victim said another person, described as a 16-year-old girl, also reported a similar incident and was able to review surveillance footage from a nearby store. According to the victim, HPD has identified a person believed to be involved, though no arrest or charges have been publicly confirmed. The victim also said gym staff told her she may have been the sixth recent victim and alleged that similar incidents may have occurred.

Any suspect involvement remains alleged unless confirmed through the legal process.

A minor crash turned into an unexpected act of service after a Precinct 4 deputy learned the driver involved was in the middle of delivering groceries. According to Constable Mark Herman’s Office, the driver’s vehicle had to be towed following the accident. Deputy Garcia then stepped in, loaded the groceries into his patrol vehicle and made sure the customer still received the delivery.

A small gesture, but a great example of going the extra mile for the community. Thank you Precinct 4 and Deputy Garcia!

From the blog:

Work continues on the Northpark Drive Expansion project, with the Loop 494 intersection expected to remain closed until approximately September 12th while contractors focus on bridge construction. The Phase I Northpark drainage system from I-69 past Russell Palmer Road is complete.

At Loop 494, crews still need to construct several large bridge columns and supporting caps. The intersection is being used as a construction zone because of the size of the equipment and the limited working space near the railroad tracks.

Please read the full blog post for more details: https://reduceflooding.com/2026/08/08/northpark-494-intersection-still-closed-but-drainage-now-complete/
