Houston, TX (May 31, 2021) - A multi-vehicle accident occurred on a Houston freeway on the evening of May 30 that turned fatal. According to reports, two people were killed in the incident.
The wreck was reported to have taken place on the I-10 East Freeway at Normandy when a Dodge Challenger Hellcat was traveling at least 100 mph in the eastbound lanes of the interstate. Police attempted to catch the driver, but by the time they had caught up with him, he had already caused an accident with two other vehicles.
Two people involved lost their lives as a result of the collision. Four others sustained injuries and required transportation to area medical centers. One of the patients suffered serious burns, according to officials.
All eastbound lanes of the freeway were shut down while responders worked to secure the area in which the accident occurred. Police continue to investigate.
We would like to offer our sincere condolences to the family of the deceased at this time. We hope for the full recovery of everyone who was injured in this crash.
