Accident this morning at 610 and Ella Boulevard

A car accident at around 9:10 a.m. this morning outside Smith & Hassler’s office on the 610 North Loop at Ella Boulevard is already causing a significant backup of the westbound lanes.  A full size pickup truck and a smaller sedan, possibly a Nissan Sentra or Nissan Altima were involved. The pickup truck appeared to sustain minimal damage and after a fairly brief conversation between the drivers, the pickup truck drove away. The wrecked car is currently blocking the two far right lanes.

Corolla driver dies after losing control, hitting SUV on Tidwell Road

A crash around 8:00 p.m. last night at Tidwell Road and Balsam Lane in Houston has left one driver dead and sent another to the hospital. Reports cited by Channel 2 say that a man driving a Toyota Corolla was speeding eastbound on Tidwell when he lost control of the car , causing him to hit a curb and over-correct into oncoming traffic, when the front of a GMC Envoy collided with the driver’s side of the Corolla. The Corolla driver was killed in the crash and the driver of the Envoy was taken by ground ambulance to hospital.

Two taken by life flight following car accident on Briar Forest Drive

Channel 2 News reports that two people were taken from the scene of a serious car accident by life flight last night. The crash between a smaller white-colored car and a truck happened around 1:15 a.m. at Briar Forest Drive near Crystal Hills Drive. It is unclear who was at fault, particularly because Channel 2’s article says that the truck failed to yield the right-of-way but also says the car failed to yield. Either way, it appears the truck T-boned the car on the driver’s size, causing significant damage and forcing the car up onto the median.
