Eyewitness News captured what was left of a wrecked SUV and an industrial vehicle after the high-speed crash on Houston's south side.
Houston Police Department's Vehicle Crimes Division was called to Bellfort Avenue near Highway 288 for a crash that killed two people.Prosecutors are expected to backtrack to the location where an SUV driver was drinking before getting behind the wheel and later slamming into a working forklift, killing two passengers on Thursday night.
Teare, who is the district attorney's chief vehicular crimes prosecutor, offered details at the scene, including the 70-mph speed the SUV was traveling in the 35-mph zone. He added that the driver admitted to drinking moments before and that open containers were inside the vehicle. "The severity of this crash was completely because of the speed that someone was traveling at on a 35 mph road. That being said, we're not even talking about a F-250. This is a multi-ton vehicle. This is probably a five-ton vehicle," Teare said.
