Harris County, Texas (January 2, 2022) – Three people were killed, and four others were injured early New Year’s Day in a two-vehicle crash in northwest Harris County, according to the deputies.

The fatal crash occurred just after 1:00 a.m., January 1, at the intersection of Barker Cypress Road and Barkers Branch.

Deputies said a 32-year-old was driving a silver Toyota Rav4 northbound on Barker Cypress, approaching the intersection, while a 70-year-old was driving a red Toyota Sienna and was making a left turn from southbound Barker Cypress onto Barkers Branch.

The Sienna failed to yield while turning left and was hit by the Rav4.

Three of the six people in the Sienna were ejected during the crash. Two of them were pronounced dead at the scene.

The Sienna driver and another passenger were taken to the hospital, where the passenger was pronounced dead. The driver had serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

Two other passengers in the Sienna were airlifted to Memorial Hermann Hospital in critical condition.

The Rav4 driver, who was a sole occupant, was taken to Memorial Hermann Katy. She showed signs of being intoxicated.

No other details were available.

The crash remains under investigation.

We pass our sincere condolences to the family and friends of the deceased. We also wish the injured victims quick recoveries.

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.
