Key takeaway About 11:30 pm Friday, a husband, wife, and their small child were traveling east on Creighton Road when the driver missed the curve, continued into the woods, and hit a large tree, which prevented the vehicle from dropping into an eight-foot ravine.
Why this matters in Willis
The recent crash on Creighton Road, where a family of three narrowly escaped injury, brings attention to the winding roads in Montgomery County. This stretch of Creighton Road, with its sharp curves, poses a risk to drivers, especially at night. The fact that the vehicle hit a large tree, preventing a potentially disastrous drop into the ravine, underscores the role of luck in this incident. However, it also points to the need for continued vigilance on the part of drivers and the importance of road maintenance by Montgomery County government. Residents of Willis and surrounding areas, who frequently travel to Conroe, should be aware of this hazardous section of road and exercise caution, particularly when driving at night. The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office has likely responded to numerous accidents in this area, and their experience can inform strategies to improve road safety.
