Houston Police Department (HPD) and Houston Fire Department (HFD) responded to a report of a motor vehicle accident (MVA) with entrapment on the northbound Hardy Feeder at Tidwell.
Upon arrival, emergency units found a pickup truck off the roadway. The vehicle had struck a power pole and came to rest on its side against a church. The male driver, who was the sole occupant of the truck, was ejected from the vehicle. Tragically, he was pronounced deceased at the scene.
Witnesses reported that the driver was traveling at a high rate of speed and weaving in and out of traffic before losing control and crashing.
As a result of the accident, all northbound lanes of the feeder road will remain closed for approximately another hour.
