Houston, TX (June 3, 2022) – An auto accident reported in the Houston area left two people injured. At around 11:45 a.m., on June 1, the police, firefighters, and EMS were all notified that a major crash on Louisiana Street required assistance.
Reports from the Houston Police Department show that an HPD cruiser was transporting a detainee to the Harris County Joint Processing Center. As the vehicle traveled north through the intersection of Louisiana Street and Leeland Street, it was involved in a collision with a black Ford SUV.
The impact of the crash caused both vehicles to strike a light pole at the intersection.
The officer and prisoner were both injured in the accident. The two victims were transported to area hospitals for further care.
At this time, the incident remains under investigation.
Our thoughts are with the victims injured in this accident. We hope for their full recovery.
Car Accidents in Texas
Motor vehicle accidents in Texas leave tens of thousands of people injured every year. Unfortunately, no matter how careful we are while traveling through the area, we see a significant number of people harmed in crashes due to the negligence of others.
Some of the most common causes of crashes in our state include:
- Impairment: When drivers operate their vehicles while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, they place the lives of others sharing the road at risk. We see many people driver impaired in our state, causing serious injuries to others.
- Speeding: Speeding is one of the most common causes of crashes in California. When drivers travel too fast around curved roadways, in inclement weather, and in congested areas, they are likely to cause severe crashes.
- Failing to yield: When drivers turn at intersections, switch lanes without looking, and fail to yield to others sharing the road, they can cause severe injury accidents.
