2 killed , 4 injured in four-vehicle wreck in Houston, Texas after a Dodge pickup truck driver run a red light


Authorities confirm there is at least one fatality at a multi-vehicle accident on the feeder road of the North Sam Houston Parkway at Antoine
A fatal wreck in northwest Harris County left four vehicles piled on top of each other Tuesday night.

The accident was verified just before 8:40pm last night on the feeder road of the North Sam Houston Parkway at Antoine.

Deputies say the 17-year-old driver of a Dodge pickup truck ran a red light at the intersection, striking a Chevrolet Tahoe with a family of four inside. The SUV then struck two other cars on scene.

Two passengers in the Tahoe, a 35-year-old woman and a 15-year-old boy, both died. A total of six occupants from three of the vehicles where also transported to the hospital.

The 17-year-old driver is also in the hospital where he's listed in critical condition.

There are several street closures and detours, which are causing a major traffic backup in the area.

The crash remains under investigation by the Harris County Sheriff's Office Traffic Enforcement Section.
