I 10 east in Sealy shut down when two big rigs wreck

Channel 13 Eyewitness news is reporting a major collision between two 18-wheelers on Interstate 10 eastbound in Sealy, Texas. There is no word on whether anyone was injured, and the entire eastbound side of I-10 has been closed. At least one of the 18-wheeler appears to have burned up.

Alcohol may be a factor in head-on crash on FM 1960 and Oak Timbers

Police are working to determine what caused a serious head-on crash last night on FM 1960 and Oak Timbers.  Three people were injured in the car accident and it is through that alcohol may have contributed to the wreck. According to deputies the female driver of a Pontiac Grand Am was swerving when she drifted across the center line and struck an oncoming car (which based on the photograph was a Chrysler PT Cruiser or a Chevrolet HHR). Both drivers involved were transported to the hospital and reportedly were in stable condition, but a passenger in the Pontiac Grand Am is in serious condition. The driver of the Pontiac was to be tested for possible alcohol consumption. ABC Channel 13’s coverage is here.
