Two Die in Fatal Houston Crash

A car accident in southwest Houston claimed the lives of a driver and his passenger this weekend. The driver lost control of his speeding Chevrolet Camaro, then jumped a curb and slammed into a light pole and a brick wall. The force of the collision was overwhelming, throwing the driver from the vehicle and killing the passenger.

 

This tragic accident is horrible for the families of both victims, but it is particularly difficult for the passenger’s loved ones. The passenger didn’t have control over the car and didn’t have the ability to influence the outcome of the fatal accident. Under Texas law, the driver is not only responsible for his own safety, but her safety, too.

Fatal Rear-End Accident on Houston Freeway

Rear-end accidents aren’t usually fatal. Yesterday’s two-car accident between a Ford F-250 and an SUV ended tragically, however, because of common problem with SUVs: rolling. During afternoon rush hour traffic, the F-250 slammed into the back of the SUV. Although forceful, the initial collision wasn’t fatal. The accident, however, forced the SUV off the road and down the embankment, causing the vehicle to roll several times. As the SUV rolled, the driver was thrown from the car, killing him.

Collison Caused by Drunk Driving

This morning, the Dallas Morning News reported that a 28-year-old man involved in a collision that killed a 60-year-old man, could face drunken driving charges.

The accident occurred about 11:45 p.m. Sunday at the intersection of Skillman Avenue and Mockingbird Lane.

Jeremy Watkins was driving a Toyota sport utility vehicle in the 4100 block of Skillman when police were alerted that he may have been intoxicated. When the officer attempted to stop him, Mr. Watkins, he sped away and collided with a 60-year-old driver in a Jeep Grand Cherokee heading eastbound on Mockingbird.

The two vehicles then collided with a third vehicle.

Mr. Watkins was taken to Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas and will face charges of intoxicated manslaughter or criminal negligent homicide, based on the pending blood test results, Dallas police said.

Police did not release the name of 60-year-old man, pending notification of next of kin.

The driver of the third vehicle was taken to Baylor University Medical Center and treated for non-life threatening injuries, police said.
