By urging Texans to follow speed limits and increasing law enforcement’s focus on speeding as a public issue, the TxDOT (and Conroe native, Parker McCollum!) hopes to decrease car-crash-related fatalities in Houston and Texas.

A man died late Sunday night after authorities say the driver crashed his truck on the North Freeway, causing it to catch fire and trapping him inside.

Investigators said the driver hit a curb, causing the vehicle to flip before she was thrown from her SUV.

Days before a church bus carrying 16 people flipped over, neighbors in Castilian Village Townhomes said they complained to Mount Zion Baptist Church about what they called “reckless driving.”

The family and close friends of a Spring teenager are mourning his tragic and sudden death, days after he was killed in a speeding crash on his ATV.

It was a scary moment for residents in Spring when a car lost control, went airborne and landed in a neighbor’s yard.

Research proves a small change in the speed limit could save thousands of lives. Houston’s Super Neighborhood Alliance and the Greater Houston Coalition for Complete Streets have teamed to help push two bills that would reduce the speed limit in residential neighborhoods. One is House Bill 442 sponsored by Texas House Representative Celia Israel, to lower the speed limit in residential areas to 25 mph in Texas cities. Ad“Someone in Houston dies in a crash every other day, and three people experience life-altering injuries every day,” said Handy. In fact, this week Killgore, Peterzen and Mayor Turner will have a virtual meeting about the effort in reducing the speed limit in Houston neighborhoods.
