HARRIS COUNTY, Texas – A woman was killed when her car was T-boned by a suspected drunken driver at an intersection in west Harris County, deputies said early Friday.

The crash happened on Saums at Greenhouse around 2:30 a.m.

According to the Harris County Sheriff's Office, a Chevrolet pickup crashed into the woman's red Nissan Altima at a high rate of speed. The woman died at the scene. Both people in the truck were taken to the hospital in serious condition.

Deputies said it appeared the woman who died was the one who ran a red light, causing the crash, but the driver of the pickup appeared to be intoxicated. The pickup's driver faces, at the very least, a DWI charge.

The investigation is still underway.
