Houston, TX (March 24, 2022) – A crash reported in the Houston area on Monday afternoon has claimed one person’s life. Just before 3 p.m., on March 21, emergency crews were notified that their assistance was needed on-site at a traffic-related incident on Cotillion Drive.
Reports from the Houston Police Department show that a black Honda Accord was traveling east on Aldine Bender Road. As the vehicle approached the intersection of Cotillion Drive, it attempted to make a left turn. The vehicle then collided with a Hyundai Elantra. The impact of the crash caused the Honda to spin around and strike a gray Mercury Mariner.
The driver and passenger in the Honda were both rushed to area hospitals for care. Authorities confirmed that the passenger died after arriving.
At this time, the incident remains under investigation.
We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family of the victim who lost their life in this accident. Our thoughts are with them at this time.
Fatal Car Accidents in Texas
Motor vehicle accidents in Texas claim the lives of nearly 4,000 people every year.

Drivers who are under the influence of alcohol contribute to more than 25% of fatal crashes each year. Drivers who are distracted account for 18% of crashes.
