A suspected impaired driver crossed into oncoming traffic overnight and slammed head-on into another vehicle on FM 1960 in Humble. Investigators continued piecing together what happened in the 2400 block of FM 1960 Road East.
The Harris County Sheriff's Office said deputies responded to the major crash overnight, and preliminary information indicates the suspected impaired driver crossed into oncoming lanes before colliding head-on with another vehicle, according to HCSOTexas.
Houston Stringer reported that two young children were seriously injured.
The investigation into the crash remains ongoing, and deputies thanked the Humble Police Department for its assistance.
Possible Charges Loom for Driver
A separate account from Houston Stringer cites Andrew Figliuzzi, an investigator with the Harris County District Attorney's Office Vehicular Crimes Division, saying two young children were seriously injured in the suspected DWI crash. That outlet also reported that some occupants of the struck vehicle were undergoing surgery for potentially life-threatening injuries, and that no deaths had been reported at the time of the briefing described in its report.
Per the same report, Figliuzzi said there was probable cause to believe the driver who caused the crash was intoxicated. The driver is expected to face multiple counts of intoxication assault and could also face an aggravated assault charge, according to that account.
Rifle Fire Also Reported
Houston Stringer reported that a passerby opened fire with a rifle.
Investigators continue working to determine the full circumstances surrounding the crash, HCSOTexas said, as the case remains under investigation.
