Cindy Vasquez and Adam Phillips Killed in Houston Two-Vehicle Crash on Hollister Street at Highway 290

Houston, Texas (February 12, 2022) – Two people were killed Thursday night in a two-vehicle crash in northwest Houston, according to the police.

The fatal crash happened just after 11:00 p.m., February 10, in the 5300 block of Hollister Street at the intersection of Highway 290.

Police said a man was driving a Silverado pickup truck at a high rate of speed when he ran a red light at the intersection and crashed into a sedan, which had the right of way.

The force of the impact caused the sedan to land on top of the Silverado, strike a curb, and rollover several times.

The sedan driver, 25-year-old Adam Phillips, was pronounced dead at the scene. 

A passenger in the Silverado, 23-year-old Cindy Vasquez, was ejected from the vehicle and was taken to the hospital, where she later died.

The family has set up a GoFundMe account to help with Cindy’s funeral expenses.

The Silverado driver, a 28-year-old man, was taken to the hospital and showed no signs of intoxication. He was Cindy’s husband.

The crash remains under investigation.

Common Causes of Automobile Accidents

There are many different reasons why automobile, 18-wheeler, and motorcycle accidents occur, including driver negligence, driver inattention, 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 under the influence of alcohol or drugs. While the factors listed above are the main causes of most accidents, there may also be other factors involved, which is why it’s important that an investigation be conducted before evidence disappears, especially in cases involving a fatality.  At Joel A.
