According to Houston TranStar, in 2011 the average time it took rescue crews and authorities to clear an accident scene in Houston was 33.5 minutes, down from 34.7 in 2010. But our U.S. 290 accident attorneys point out that the more complicated an accident scene, and such factors as whether or not it involves injuries, fatalities, DWI, or fuel spills can strongly impact the amount of time it takes to clear the scene.
