Excessive speed factor in fatal Houston car crash that cost two lives

Posted on Feb 27, 2010

A Harris County car crash has left two motorists dead and another hospitalized. Veterans Memorial Drive had to be closed for several hours after the accident.

The collision happened when a silver 2008 Toyota Highlander entered the intersection near the 10700 block of Veterans Memorial Drive and was hit by a 2004 Mitsubishi which ran a red light. According to the Harris County Sherriff’s Office, the Mitsubishi was traveling at a high rate of speed – perhaps over 100 miles per hour – when it ran the red light.

As a result of the crash the Mitsubishi flipped over and crashed into a brick wall. The male driver and a female passenger, the only occupants of the Mitsubishi, were both killed. The driver of the Toyota was taken to the hospital in stable condition.

Red light running and excessive speed are two major contributing factors to auto accidents in the Houston area. The Harris County sheriff’s office has been trying to crack down on dangerous and aggressive drivers in the Houston area.

One effort underway to cut down on the number of speed-related accidents is a crackdown on street racing by the Sheriff’s office. Operations have been conducted this month to deter and catch street racers. The events are typically well publicized to discourage street racing in the first place.
