Houston Driver Could Face Charges of Three Counts Intoxication Manslaughter

Posted on July 13th, 2010 No Comments

Police are not identifying a suspect who drove the Toyota Camry that killed three teenagers in an accident Friday in Houston.

Authorities say the Camry was traveling north on the Highway 59 feeder. KHOU reports, “he ran a red light and smashed into a Ford Excursion traveling east on the Sam Houston Tollway feeder.”

The Excursion was full, “carrying a man, a woman and five teenage girls,” according to KHOU. The vehicle was then sent right into a utility pole. Three of the teenagers, who were not wearing seat belts, were thrown from the vehicle. Of those, two died on the scene, and one died at the hospital Sunday.

If blood tests reveal that the Camry driver was above the legal alcohol limit, he could face three counts of intoxication manslaughter.
