Northwest Houston- A child is dead after a crash involving a suspected drunk driver and a Harris County Sheriff’s Office patrol car early Sunday morning, according to the sheriff’s office. A child passenger younger than 12-years-old was ejected from the vehicle. <\/p>\n
The sheriff’s office said a deputy was driving southbound on T.C. Jester in a marked patrol car when a pickup truck heading northbound attempted to turn at Tomlinson Trail Drive. Officials say the two vehicles collided and the pickup truck was spun around and a child passenger younger than 12-years-old was ejected from the vehicle. Investigators said the child was not wearing a seat belt.<\/p>\n
The deputy involved in the crash reportedly provided CPR to the child until EMS arrived and the child was rushed to a hospital where the child later died.<\/p>\n
Investigators said the driver of the pickup truck, a man in his 50s or 60s, showed signs of intoxication. HCSO said it was seeking a warrant for a blood sample, and the driver could face a charge of intoxication manslaughter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Northwest Houston- A child is dead after a crash involving a suspected drunk driver and a Harris County…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":358496,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[56,58,57,66,223,27],"class_list":["post-414624","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-houston","tag-houston","tag-houston-headlines","tag-houston-news","tag-local","tag-news","tag-texas"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/414624","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=414624"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/414624\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/358496"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=414624"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=414624"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=414624"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
