Human remains were found in the vehicle involved in the pipeline fire near Deer Park and La Porte after it was towed away Thursday morning, authorities said.
Deer Park city officials confirmed human remains were found in the vehicle involved in the pipeline fire near Deer Park and La Porte after it was towed away Thursday morning following the four-day-long incident that led to the evacuation of nearby homes. Authorities said the situation has now developed into a criminal investigation, and that no further information will be released until a motive is determined and the investigation concludes.
Once completed, the installed equipment will allow for Energy Transfer to expedite the removal and replacement of damaged pipeline parts. Located on the border of Deer Park, La Porte and Pasadena, the fire has been burning since Monday. It may have sparked when the SUV hit an above-ground pipeline valve. Energy Transfer owns the natural gas pipeline.
