Woman, 56, Killed in Four-Vehicle Crash on East FM 1960: Police Say Her Camry Spun Into Oncoming Lanes
Investigators say an unsafe lane change started a chain that threw the driver from her car at 9482 East FM 1960 on Sunday afternoon. Her name is being withheld while her family is notified, and no other driver was hurt.
A 56-year-old woman died Sunday after a multi-vehicle crash at 9482 East FM 1960 Road in Houston, police said. The wreck happened at about 12:15 p.m. on November 8, and the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences has not released her name - the agency is notifying her family first, and this station does not name a victim before officials do.
Sergeant J. James and Officer D. Ortega of the Houston Police Department's Vehicular Crimes Division reported that a white Ford F350 and a white Toyota Camry were headed west near that address. The Toyota made an unsafe lane change, and the Ford hit it, according to investigators - a finding this desk reports as the investigators' account of a crash whose investigation is still ongoing.
The Toyota lost control and spun into the eastbound lanes, where a white Jeep Grand Cherokee hit it. The Toyota then hit a blue Ford F150 - four vehicles in the chain in total. The Toyota's driver was thrown from the car, and Houston Fire Department paramedics pronounced her dead at the scene.
Police reported no other injuries, and the drivers of the other three vehicles stayed at the scene. The investigation is ongoing, and police did not say whether anyone faces charges. This desk will update the file when the Institute of Forensic Sciences releases the driver's name or investigators announce a finding beyond the account above.
