HARRIS COUNTY, Texas -- On Saturday night FM 1960 was shut down
between Briar Creek and Treaschwig for several hours as the
Harris County Precinct 4 Constable s Officeinvestigated a two-
vehicle crash.  Investigators say a red Toyota Matrix and a
white Chevy pickup truck were both headed east and that the
pickup was speeding.  It was going so fast, it rammed into the
back of the Toyota and went airborne on impact.  The truck flew
into a power pole, landed in a parking lot, and ejected the
driver. Investigators say he died on impact.  As for the Matrix,
two women were inside. The passenger was taken to Ben Taub in
stable condition. The driver died on her way to the hospital.
Krista Pickett was on her way home from work at the time and
heard the crash.  And then I just saw a couple cars spinning out
of control over here, she said. So immediately I stopped and I
called 911 of course.  Investigators do not know why the truck
was going so fast. They are unsure whether alcohol or drugs
played a role.  Read or Share
