MONT BELVIEU, Texas — Two people were killed, including a mother and her 13-year-old daughter, in a crash with a tractor truck Wednesday morning, according to the Mont Belvieu Police Department.
A third passenger, a 2-year-old girl, was flown to an area hospital as a precaution. The driver of the truck was reportedly uninjured.
The accident happened around 11:30 a.m. on Eagle Point Drive near FM 565.
Police said it appears that the truck was attempting a U-turn on the road when it became stuck, blocking both lanes of traffic. That's when a black SUV crashed into its trailer.
When Air 11 flew over the scene, it looked like the truck had jackknifed. The top of a black SUV was sheared off by the force of the crash.
