Deadly crash forces Hwy 59 SB lanes near Kingwood Drive to shut down
All southbound lanes of Highway 59 are closed
Road Closure tagged interest
All southbound lanes of Highway 59 are closed until an investigation into a deadly crash just north of Kingwood Drive is completed, Houston police said.
Fire crews at the scene said one person is dead following the two-vehicle crash at about 7 p.m. on Sunday.
There was a minor hit-and-run accident on the freeway, police said. That’s when a woman driving a red sedan stopped in a lane after the crash to check on her children in the back when a truck tried to avoid her vehicle but hit her, according to Sgt. Clark with the Houston Police Department.
Then a third accident occurred, according to police.
A red truck rear-ended the sedan, causing the mother to be thrown a good distance. Police said she was found dead at the scene.
The driver of the vehicle that hit the mother remained at the scene and was cooperating with police.
