Houston, TX – Five Injured in Truck Accident on Fort Bend Tollway

Houston, TX (August 5, 2020) – Just before 6 p.m., on August 4, the Texas Department of Public Safety responded to the scene of a motor vehicle accident on Fort Bend Tollway.

Reports provided by authorities show that a collision involving three vehicles took place in the northbound lanes of Fort Bend Tollway near the intersection with Farm to Market Road 2234. Preliminary investigations show that a silver Porsche was traveling down the roadway at a slow pace due to having a flat tire. A relative to the person in the Porsche was driving behind them in a vehicle occupied by two children and two adults. As the vehicle approached the intersection, it was rear-ended by a utility truck. The impact of the crash caused the family’s vehicle to crash into the rear-end of the Porsche.

Two children inside the family’s vehicle, a 4-year-old and 8-year-old, were both airlifted from the site of the crash to area hospitals for treatment of critical injuries. The man and woman in the family’s vehicle, as well as the Porsche driver, were all transported to area hospitals for treatment of undisclosed injuries. At this time, the crash remains under investigation.

Our thoughts are with the injured victims at this time. We hope for their full recovery.
