On Thursday morning, a collision on the Westpark Tollway involving a METRO bus and a passenger vehicle left one person dead. The crash occurred just before 6 a.m. near Westheimer Place Dr. in the westbound lanes, when the vehicle struck the bus. The identity of the deceased has not been released, and details of the incident are still unclear, according to Click2Houston.
Following the crash, the westbound section of the tollway was temporarily closed, leading authorities to reroute morning traffic while they investigated. The Harris County Toll Road Authority reported that traffic flow was restored by 7:45 a.m., as stated by Click2Houston.
A METRO bus stalled on the tollway due to mechanical issues and was rear-ended by a car, killing the driver. The bus had no passengers at the time, and the bus driver's condition is unknown. The investigation is ongoing to determine the cause of the crash, as reported by KHOU.
