HARRIS COUNTY, Texas — Three people died and two people were critically injured Sunday in a major two-vehicle crash in northwest Harris County near Jersey Village.

This happened at about 7:53 a.m. in the 12200 block of FM 529 at Fairview.

Investigators said the driver along with three other passengers were in a 2012 Honda Accord traveling westbound on FM 529. At the same time, an unknown driver riding in a 2006 Ford F150 was traveling eastbound on FM 529 when the driver attempted to turn left into a private parking lot.
