A fatal crash occurred on the Katy Freeway near Highway 6 in Houston on Thursday evening. The accident involved five vehicles, including a METRO bus, and resulted in one death and at least two injuries, according to CW39.
The crash caused significant traffic delays, with all eastbound lanes blocked. As a result, traffic remained heavy throughout the night as drivers searched for alternative routes. KHOU reported that the freeway reopened after a seven-hour closure.
First responders remained at the scene, and the medical examiner confirmed one death. This incident adds to the nearly 500 fatalities on Harris County’s roads this year. The frequency of accidents raises concerns about road safety in Houston, according to KHOU.
