A dense fog leads to a fatal truck accident in North West Harris County yesterday. For unknown reasons a Kia Spectra was stopped on the roadway on Highway 290 about 1 a.m., and rear ended at high speed by a truck.
The impact from the truck literally launched the Kia across the median and into a grass covered area.
Both the driver of the car and passenger died, with the passenger pronounced dead at the scene, while the driver was taken to Memorial Herman but did not survive.
Fog can be a very dangerous condition particularly dense fog due to the limited visibility.
Commercial truck drivers are required to use extra caution when in fog and to pull off the roadway if conditions get dangerous.
