HOUSTON – A fatal crash that left multiple people injured in downtown Houston is under investigation Friday morning, according to the Houston Police Department.
The crash was reported around 12:20 a.m. at the intersection of Pierce and Hutchins streets.
Sgt. Mike Barrow with HPD’s Vehicle Crimes Division said both vehicles, a Toyota Corolla traveling on Pierce Street and a Dodge Charger on Hutchins Street, were approaching the intersection when they collided in a T-bone crash.
Police said there were five occupants in the Toyota and one person in the Charger. All six people were transported to a hospital.
Barrow said a male passenger from the Toyota died at the hospital, while another occupant remains in critical condition.
It is unclear whether either driver ran a stop sign or if impairment was a factor.
