Houston Personal Injury Attorneys – Smith & Hassler

An accident this morning in Humble involving a flatbed truck carrying a bucket lift has injured at least one person. The crash occurred around 10:15 a.m. on E. FM 1960 near Moon Trail Drive.  A picture from Channel 2’s web site shows the flatbed truck laying on its driver’s side, apparently having slid on the roadway for some distance based on the scrape marks. Life Flight was called out to transport at least one victim, and FM 1960 was temporarily closed.

Update: an article on KHOU’s web site identifies the victim in the passenger car as being a retired HPD police officer named Larry Moody. The passenger car involved appears to be a Mercury Grand Marquis.

A man was pushing an SUV on the feeder road of Highway 59 in Humble early this morning when he was struck from behind by another vehicle. Instead of remaining at the scene to help the severely injured man whose leg was severed in the collision, the rear-ending driver fled the scene. Fortunately a witness was able to follow the vehicle responsible and provided police with the license plate and a description. Meanwhile another passerby rendered aid to the injured man. The accident happened on the northbound feeder, according to Channel 2 Houston.

An 8th grader was struck by a car today as he walked to school.  The auto-pedestrian accident happened around 7:45 a.m. as the vehicle was making a left turn in front of Timberwood Middle School in Humble, Texas. The boy suffered a possible broken leg and some bruises, and he was transported to Memorial Hermann Hospital.  The driver remained at the scene. Channel 2’s report is here. Hopefully the young man will make a full recovery. No word on whether the driver was cited for the accident.
