Several people were injured in a four vehicle accident that involved a METRO bus. Around 1:30 p.m. Tuesday afternoon a METRO bus rear-ended a black colored car on Almeda Genoa, pushing the car into two other vehicles. The car’s driver and two passengers were transported by ambulance. The commentary to Channel 2’s story on the accident makes for some interesting reading.
There was a major car accident this morning on the southbound Gulf Freeway near Almeda Genoa. A car lost control around 8:00 a.m., hitting the railing on the Edgebrook overpass. The car then spun across the freeway hitting a pickup truck, then hit the railing on the opposite side of the freeway and flipped over. Fire fighters cut two people out of the car: the driver was helicoptered to Memorial Hermann and the passenger was taken by ambulance. Investigators told Houston’s Channel 11 that alcohol may be a factor in the accident; the freeway was closed for three hours while police investigated.
