Houston police are investigating following a deadly crash along Northwest Freeway on Tuesday evening.According to Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez, the crash occurred on the Northwest Freeway service road at Spring Cypress.
Authorities said during a briefing on Tuesday evening that when they arrived on the scene, they found a truck involved with what appeared to be a dirt bike or mini bike with a Black male underneath the vehicle. Preliminary information is the pickup truck, a Ford F-150, was traveling westbound on the service road when the Black male was approaching on the dirt bike/mini bike. Officials said as the F-150 was turning right into a private drive, the dirt bike/mini bike failed to yield the right of way as the truck was turning right and was struck by the truck. The collision caused the dirt bike/mini bike and rider to fall to the ground and the truck ran over the dirt bike/mini bike and the operator trapping them both underneath the truck, officials said. The driver of the dirt bike/mini bike was pronounced dead on the scene. Speed is not a factor in the crash, officials said. Officials stated the driver of the F-150 showed no signs of impairment. The name of the victim has not yet been released.
