Two Killed Houston Allen Parkway Wreck

Two adults died this morning when their SUV slammed into a large tree on Allen Parkway after the driver apparently lost control, police said.

Around 8 a.m., a driver in a black Suburban heading west in the 2000 block of the parkway just west of downtown Houston skidded across the median, oncoming lanes and another median before the vehicle slammed into a tree, which was uprooted, said Houston police Lt. L.J. Satterwhite.

The two people inside were dead at the scene inside the mangled SUV, which ended up along the service road that runs along the south side of Allen Parkway.

Satterwhite said investigators are looking at possible causes, including excessive speed and rain-slicked pavement.

No other information about the victims or the wreck was immediately available.
