Houston Car Crash being Investigated

Police are investigating a two-car crash that killed one man and injured another in east Houston Saturday evening.

An unidentified man was driving a Honda Civic west in the 12700 block of East Freeway around 7:43 p.m. when he lost control of the car and crashed into the concrete divider, Houston Police Department Sgt. R. Gonzales said.

Investigators said the impact caused the Civic to turn into the second lane of traffic, where a Ford pickup truck then crashed into the car.

The front-seat passenger of the Civic died at the scene. His identity is pending an autopsy by the Harris County Medical Examiner's Office.

Paramedics took the Civic's driver to Ben Taub General Hospital, where he is reportedly in critical condition, Gonzales said.

Slick roadways are believed to have been a factor in the crash, Gonzales said.
