Authorities said one driver was killed, two others were detained but only one of the drivers was suspected of drunk driving.
Responding officers with the Houston Police Department were called around 2:30 a.m. to the 13900 block of I-45 going southbound on Gulf Fwy just past the beltway. That's when they found the driver of an Equinox dead at the scene. The passenger was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Two other drivers, one man in a suburban and a woman in a pickup truck, were detained, but authorities said only she was under suspicion of driving drunk. The male driver's passenger was also taken to the hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. Based on preliminary details, the suburban driver was going southbound on Gulf Fwy and hit the Equinox, causing it to spin out and have both vehicles make contact a second time.
All southbound main lanes of the Gulf Fwy were closed, so officials may investigate and crews could clean up the wreckage. No additional information was shared, as of this writing, but an investigation remains underway.
