Houston, Texas (January 26, 2021) – One person was killed, and another was injured Friday night in a two-vehicle crash in Houston, according to police.

The fatal crash happened around 10:40 p.m., January 22, in the 4600 block of Southwest Freeway (South U.S. Highway 59).

According to police, witnesses said a blue Honda Civic was involved in a crash and was stopped in an unprotected median that separates the southbound freeway from the 610 West Loop exit ramp.

The Honda was then struck by a blue Jeep Liberty driven by a 47-year-old woman.

The police are investigating the crash.

“When a person has suffered a grave personal injury in an accident due to someone else’s negligence, the most overwhelming emotion they feel is a sense of injustice. They often ask how such a life-altering event could have happened to them,” attorney Joel A. Gordon said. “The next question usually is, who can help me?” Mr. Gordon added.

A legal advocate can represent an injury victim or the family of a deceased victim. The attorney will file a claim on behalf of the victim and will have the responsibility of citing existing codes, laws, or statutes which were violated.
