Two separate fatal auto-pedestrian collisions early Friday, including one involving a police officer, a little more than a mile apart had both sides of Interstate 10 on the east side of town closed for hours while investigators examined the scene, officials said. The first crash happened around 2 a.m., Ernest Garcia, assistant chief for the Houston Police Department, told On Scene reporters.
A Houston police officer had been traveling west on Interstate 10, near Lathrop Street, when he felt a hard bump that deployed his vehicle’s airbags, Garcia said.Emergency responders pronounced the man, likely in his 30s, dead at the scene.About an hour after that, officers received a call around 3:02 a.m. about a fatal auto-pedestrian crash in the 8600 block of the interstate, on the westbound side.Police estimated the two investigations could have the freeway closed for hours early Friday.
Really leaving it up to the reader to make sense of this sequence of events: 'A Houston police officer... felt a hard bump that deployed his vehicle’s airbags... The officer pulled over to the side of the road and discovered a body alongside his vehicle.'
