Driver dies after rollover crash off Eastex Fwy in NE Houston
HARRIS COUNTY, TX — A man died last Wednesday, August 9, after a rollover wreck involving two vehicles off the Eastex Freeway in northeast Houston, reports the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.
The collision took place in the 11900 block of the Eastex Freeway service road shortly before 7:00 p.m.
Preliminary details show the victim, David Martinez, was driving a 2006 grey Chevrolet Impala southbound in lane 2 of the road at the same time Juan Carlos Espinosa was driving a 2019 green Dodge Charger in lane 1, near the Impala.
