Road Rage Crash Killed Innocent Man on His Way to Work

HOUSTON (October 22, 2018) -A group of construction workers on their way to work was caught between two vehicles involved in a road rage incident.

Reports indicate that an argument escalated at a nearby nightclub before each person got on the road. The three-vehicle collision happened around 2:15 a.m. at the intersection of I-45 feeder and Airline.

The driver in a Chrysler was speeding westbound on Airline and ran the red light. The workers’ van carrying four men, had the right of way but slammed into the Chrysler. Another van involved in the road rage incident with the Chrysler crashed the workers’ van. The workers’ van was carrying four men heading to a construction site.

The driver of the workers’ van suffered minor injuries. A front passenger died and another person had possible injuries to his liver. Among the three vehicles, six people were taken to the hospital.
