Clear Lake and Precinct 2 constables were at a fatal crash on the southbound Interstate 45 service road at Beltway 8, Houston Police said Friday.
In a post published at 3:23 a.m. UTC, Houston Police
said a VCD investigation was underway. The alert named the service road at Beltway 8 and stopped there: no cause, no vehicle count, and no names.
That notice should not be folded into other fatal crashes already reported along I-45 and Beltway 8. Click2Houston reported a fatal motorcycle crash on the ramp from southbound I-45 to westbound North Sam Houston Tollway in Greenspoint. ABC13 reported at least one death in a separate crash on westbound Beltway 8 at Greenspoint Road; an HCSO lieutenant said five vehicles, including two heavy-duty vehicles, were involved.
On Oct. 31, the City of Houston said HPD was investigating another fatal crash, this one about 3 a.m. in the 5500 block of the South Sam Houston Parkway West service road, and that the investigation was ongoing.
For the service-road crash flagged Friday, the public account remains the location and the VCD investigation police said was underway.
