Lefler and Officer J.

The Lexus struck a guardrail and then went across the freeway where it was struck by an oncoming green Ford Probe. The Lexus continued on and rear-ended the GMC truck involved in the original accident. The 66-year-old female driver of the Lexus and her passenger, the 91-year-old victim, were transported to Memorial Hermann Hospital where the elder female was later pronounced dead.
