Overview
- Police say a blue Ford SUV left a nearby feeder road, went airborne over an embankment, landed on eastbound I‑10 and struck a vehicle that had four occupants.
- Emergency crews took the SUV driver to hospital in critical condition and transported two people from the struck vehicle to hospitals in stable condition.
- Houston Police Department detectives have opened a Vehicular Crimes Division investigation and are asking witnesses to call the tip line at 713-247-4072.
- Officials cite speed as an apparent contributing factor but have not released toxicology results or a full crash reconstruction, and no identities or charges have been disclosed.
- Feeder roads and embankments along the East Freeway can allow out-of-control vehicles to cross into freeway lanes, and investigators say forensic work and medical stabilizations will guide next steps.
