Authorities investigated two accidents that occurred on the Grand Parkway (I-99) on July 22, 2022, killing two people and sending one person to a Houston-area trauma center.
The first accident happened around 5:41 a.m. involving a southbound 2021 Dodge 3500 Dually carrying two people. According to Sgt. Rob Willoughby, supervisor of the Liberty County office of the Texas Department of Public Safety, a 29-year-old man from Katy was driving the dually pickup.
“The truck, for an unknown reason, left the roadway as it approached the overpass of CR 602. It then traveled down an embankment through a ditch and then on through approximately 400 yards of pasture. It then struck another ditch, went airborne, traveling over CR 602, and struck an elevated utility line before coming to rest on the roof of the vehicle,” Willoughby said.
The crash knocked down a power line and the vehicle caught on fire, which may have been caused by the power line. Both occupants were pronounced dead at the scene by Pct. 4 Justice of the Peace Larry Wilburn.
