Pasadena, TX (July 22, 2021) - One man was killed in a fiery two-vehicle collision on Highway 225 in the area of Beltway 8 in the early morning hours of Thursday, July 22nd in Pasadena.
According to fire officials at the scene, reported that a car was stalled in the center lane of the westbound side of the highway when the driver of a Jeep crashed into the back of it after cresting a hill. The collision caused both vehicles to go on fire.
Authorities said that the stopped car had its hazard lights on.
Nearby power lines were affected as large flames consumed both vehicles, making it challenging for fire crews to quickly extinguish the flames.
A local source reported that small explosions could be seen happening inside the burning vehicles.
Pasadena’s Chief Fire Marshal said that the male driver of the stalled car died at the scene. Whether the cause of death was crash-related injuries or burn injuries was not made clear.
The highway was shut down for several hours, causing gridlock as traffic was diverted onto the feeder road. The area was cleared at about 11:00 a.m.
The Pasadena Fire Department has not released the name of the victim.
We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family of the deceased victim at this time.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of people are injured in automobile accidents throughout the state of Texas. These accidents happen so often that we seem to have become accustomed to witnesses the devastating aftermath victims and their families are forced to endure. Although the majority of accidents end in minor injuries for victims, tens of thousands of victims incur spinal cord injuries, head trauma, and even broken bones.
Serious injury accidents often force victims into area hospitals where they have to undergo extensive medical treatment. Although we hope that everyone is able to recover from their injuries, more than 3,600 people end up passing away as a result of their injuries.
