A deadly crash shut down the northbound lanes of the Southwest Freeway at Bellaire for a brief time Monday morning.
The crash happened around 1 a.m. Monday morning. According to Houston TranStar, three vehicles were involved. We're told the incident involved two separate crashes.
In the first crash, a car was stalled on the freeway when a small SUV hit it from behind. As a wrecker was working to clear that accident, a man driving a truck slammed into the wrecker. His truck rolled, he was thrown from the truck and died at the scene.
His identity has not been released. Investigators are now looking into whether or not alcohol played a role in this crash.
