Fiery Wreck Involving Big Rig Kills Two, Shuts Tollway
The North Sam Houston Parkway saw closure of all westbound lanes early Friday morning following a fiery collision between a car and an 18-wheeler. The accident occurred in the 3300 block of the North Beltway near Veterans' Memorial around 2:20 a.m. According to investigators, the big rig was driving down the Beltway approaching a bank of toll booths when it struck a concrete lane divider and careened into a car whose driver was stopped to pay. The vehicles burst into flames and both drivers were killed.
