Two Killed in Northeast Harris County Crash on Old Humble Road near Beltway 8

Harris County, Texas (February 14, 2020) – Two people were killed in a head-on collision Friday morning in northeast Harris County, according to the authorities.

The fatal crash happened around 5:30 a.m. in the 15400 block of Old Humble Road, just north of Beltway 8.

Deputies said a cement truck had just left a cement mixing plant nearby and had made a U-turn on Old Humble Road when the truck’s drum started dumping wet cement onto the roadway. That is when a northbound vehicle hit the wet cement on the road, and the driver lost control, crossed the median, and crashed head-on into a southbound vehicle.

Both drivers were declared dead at the scene.

The crash remains under investigation.

We pass our sincere condolences to the family and friends of the deceased.
