Aggravated assault charges against Houston pickup truck driver

Two contract vehicles working in a Houston area construction zone were involved in a serious motor vehicle accident according to Conroe police.  One vehicle, a 2005 Ford F350 pickup truck being driven by Fernando Rodriguez, 30, was traveling at a high rate of speed when the accident occurred.

Rodriguez and a street sweeper were headed west in the 1300 block of FM 1488 when Rodriguez, who was towing a trailer, hit the street sweeper.  The sweeper was attempting to make a U-turn in a construction zone.  The driver of the sweeper, Isaac Sheridan, was ejected from the vehicle upon impact.

According to witnesses in the case, a newly constructed concrete road was being cleaned by the commercial street sweeper when the crash happened.  The Ford pickup truck was speeding, claim witnesses, and the force of the collision caused the street sweeper’s driver to be thrown from the vehicle.

Sheridan had to be taken to Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston by air ambulance after the crash.  He was listed in critical condition not long after the incident.  The pickup truck driver Rodriguez was taken to Montgomery County jail.  He was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.  His bond was set at $100,000.
