Houston, TX – A driver was killed and another motorist injured in a two-vehicle crash on Martin Luther King Boulevard in Houston Sunday morning, according to the Houston Police Department.

The collision occurred around 10:35 a.m. on October 25, 2026, at 11800 Martin Luther King Boulevard.

Investigators said a black GMC Terrain was traveling southbound at a high rate of speed when it struck a silver Chevrolet Equinox. The impact sent the Equinox off the roadway, where it overturned into the grassy median and struck a manhole cover before coming to rest.

The GMC Terrain then lost control, left the roadway, and crashed into a tree. The driver, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was pronounced dead at the scene by Houston Fire Department paramedics. His identity is pending verification by the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences.

The 40-year-old man driving the Chevrolet Equinox was taken to a nearby hospital in stable condition.

The crash remains under investigation by the HPD Vehicular Crimes Division.
