Six people were hospitalized after a wrong-way driver allegedly crashed into six vehicles following a brief chase with deputies in northwest Harris County, Texas. The Harris County Sheriff’s Office says deputies were called out after reports of a driver traveling the wrong direction near Mueschke Road and FM-2920 late Thursday night. When deputies located the vehicle, the driver allegedly fled, leading to a short pursuit before losing control and slamming into the string of vehicles. All six victims, along with the suspected driver, were taken to area hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries.
According to ABC13 Houston, the crash happened near the intersection of Mueschke Road and FM-2920, and investigators believe alcohol may have played a role in the suspect’s driving. Click2Houston (KPRC) reported that Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said a short pursuit ensued after deputies spotted the wrong-way vehicle, which then crashed and struck approximately six other vehicles. FM-2920 was shut down in the area while investigators processed the scene, according to the sheriff’s office. Charges against the driver, including suspicion of intoxication, remain pending as the investigation continues.
