Houston Personal Injury Attorneys – Smith & Hassler

The Houston Chronicle is reporting a two car rear-end collision at approximately 6:30PM on Wednesday April 13th, 2011. The crash happened the 1500 block of Bohemian Hall near near North Krenek in far northeast Harris County. Harris County Deputies said a man sitting in the rear passenger seat of a 2003 Mitsubishi Galant was flown to Memorial Hermann Hospital in the medical center where he later died. The Galant was waiting to make a left turn when it was struck from behind by a 2001 Ford F250 pickup that was also traveling northbound on Bohemian Hall. The wreck is under investigation.

A number of local news outlets are reporting that a worker was rescued by emergency services after he fell 20 feet into a hole at Fluid Power Equipment in Northwest Harris County in the 3600 block of Cunningham. A paramedic was lowered into the hole for the rescue, and Cy-Fair Volunteer Fire Department was able to hoist the paramedic and the man to safety. In the fall the man had become entangled in a ladder. A splint was put on the man’s shoulder and arm, and reportedly he was conscious the whole time. Click2Houston.com’s report of the accident states that the man sustained multiple fractures in the fall, and that the hole he fell into was a maintenance shaft. Apparently Fluid-Power Equipment, Inc. has not issued any comment on the incident.
