HARRIS COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) — A deadly crash investigation is underway after a Jeep driver collided with a Honda driver along I-45, the Harris County Sheriff’s Office said.
According to the sheriff’s office, the incident began when a woman driving a Honda Fit got a flat tire at the 14500 block of the North Freeway around 2:30 a.m. Sunday.
Sgt. Kamali said the woman was in the second lane when a Jeep Wrangler rear-ended her car and rolled onto its side. He said she was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators reported that the Jeep driver was not hurt and did not show any signs of intoxication.
Kamali explained that another car was in front of the Jeep just before the crash, but it changed lanes at the last moment, so the Jeep driver did not see the Honda.
Authorities believe the Jeep driver was driving at the speed limit when the accident happened.
Investigators said the Jeep driver was allowed to go home and that they do not expect to file any charges.
