February 18, 2015 - Houston police are investigating a fatal traffic accident at U.S. Highway 90 at Normandy about 1:40 a.m. today.

The identity of the female victim is pending notification to family members by the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences.

HPD Vehicular Crimes Division Sergeant J. Roberts and Senior Police Officer S. Martinez reported:

A tan Chevrolet Tahoe was traveling southbound on Highway 90 when it is believed the driver ran a red light at the intersection of Normandy. The Tahoe then struck a black Nissan Sentra and the Tahoe rolled over multiple times before coming to a rest on its side. A female occupant of the Tahoe was ejected from the vehicle and was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the Nissan was transported to Lyndon B. Johnson General Hospital with non life-threatening injuries.

The owner of the Tahoe, who was also in the vehicle, claims the female was the driver at the time of the accident. However, at this time, the driver of the Tahoe is undetermined and the investigation continues.
