Man and 13-year-old boy killed in crash along North Freeway

The 13-year-old riding behind the second row without a seatbelt was ejected from the vehicle during the crash and died at the scene, investigators said.

HARRIS COUNTY, Texas — A man and a 13-year-old boy were killed in a major crash along the North Freeway in north Harris County Saturday evening.

This happened in the 14800 block of the North Freeway. Harris County Sheriff’s deputies said Vehicular Crimes investigators responded to the scene of the three-vehicle crash.

Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said the man appears to be in his 20s while the child appears was 13 years old. 

Investigators said the driver of a Nissan Altima was headed north on the frontage road when she disregarded a stop-and-go signal and struck a Nissan Murano going east on E. Airtex Drive.

Both vehicles spun in a clockwise direction, during which deputies said the teen was ejected from the Murano.

The Altima then struck a parked Nissan Maxima near the intersection, investigators said. The Murano also struck a light pole at the intersection.

There were six people, three adults and three children, ages 7, 11, 13, in the Murano at the time of the crash. The 13-year-old riding behind the second row without a seatbelt was ejected from the vehicle during the crash and died at the scene, investigators said. An adult male in the second row also died as a result of the crash.

The female driver of the Altima did not show any signs of impairment and was also transported to a local hospital as a precaution where she gave a statement.
