It happened just before 4 a.m. when investigators say the unidentified driver was with a passenger/customer on I-10 East Freeway toward the Kress exit. The driver stopped his vehicle to see what was wrong with his car after he suspected hitting something on the freeway’s shoulder. Both the driver and the rider got out of the car to see what was wrong, initially, but then the passenger went back inside while the driver continued to inspect the vehicle. That’s when Sgt. Dallas with the Houston Police Department’s Vehicular Crimes Division says another driver, possibly in a pick-up truck, crashed into the back of the Uber driver’s car.ALSO:
