Three Deputies and Suspect Injured in North Harris County Multi-Vehicle Crash on Eastex Freeway at North Belt Overpass

Harris County, Texas (July 29, 2020) – Three Harris County Sheriff’s deputies and a suspect were injured Monday night in a multi-vehicle crash in North Harris County, according to officials.

The crash happened around 11:00 p.m. on July 27, at the intersection of Eastex Freeway and North Belt overpass.

According to officials, an HCSO deputy pulled over a man for a traffic violation on the southbound main lanes of the freeway, but the suspect resisted arrest, and the deputy called for help 

A deputy responded in a Ford Taurus HCSO vehicle, and another deputy responded in a Chevrolet Tahoe HCSO vehicle.

The deputy in the Tahoe wasn’t able to stop in time and rear-ended the Taurus.

The force of the impact pushed the Taurus into another Chevrolet Tahoe, which was already at the scene.

The first Tahoe rotated and hit the first deputy and the suspect.

The deputy was taken to the hospital with a concussion. His injuries were non-life-threatening.

The deputy in the Taurus was taken to the hospital where they were treated and released.

The deputy in the Tahoe was taken to the hospital with major injuries, including a broken hand. 

The suspect was taken to the hospital with minor injuries. He will be charged with aggravated assault of a peace officer and resisting arrest.

An investigation is underway.

We hope the injured victims recover quickly.

Common Causes of Automobile Accidents

While there are many causes of car accidents, the most common reasons of driver negligence include driver inattention; cell phone use; texting and driving; speeding; fatigue; failure to yield the right of way from a stop sign or private drive; running a red light; and driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs,” Attorney Joel A. Gordon said. Mr. Gordon believes that an independent investigation is important. An Attorney will help obtain the crash report, secure accident photos, interview witnesses, and create a claim.
