Houston, TX (July 30, 2024) – Three people have been injured following a N Sam Houston Tollway collision Monday morning.

 

It was past 5 a.m. when the collision happened on Fairbanks Road near Highway 249.

 

Investigators said a driver and tow truck driver were changing a flat tire on Beltway 8 when another vehicle struck the two drivers. 

 

 Two of the patients were transported to a hospital via ambulance and another was airlifted via LifeFlight.

 

A total of four vehicles were involved in the collision but it has not determined yet if it was a chain-reaction crash.

 

Traffic authorities closed all the westbound lanes of the tollway as they investigated the scene.

 

Practicing safe and defensive driving is crucial because it reduces the risk of accidents and helps protect both yourself and other drivers on the road. Following traffic rules, maintaining a safe distance, and being aware of your surroundings can significantly reduce the likelihood of accidents, and ensure a safer driving experience.
