Fatal Pickup Tuck-Flatbed Truck Crash: MyFoxHOUSTON.com

KINGWOOD, Texas - A teen has died after the pickup truck he drove crashed into the rear of a flatbed truck in the Kingwood area.

The Isuzu flatbed truck was traveling northbound on U.S. Highway 59, the Eastex Freeway, near the North Park Plaza exit when the Isuzu driver determined one of the tires was flat. He began to decrease the speed of the Isuzu to move it to a shoulder lane.

The Toyota Tacoma following behind the Isuzu was traveling at a high rate of speed when the crash took place around 11 p.m. Tuesday.

A rescue crew removed the teen driver, later identified as 18-year-old Eduardo Garza, from the crashed Tacoma and he was taken to LBJ General Hospital where he was later pronounced dead. Garza was a resident of Splendora.

Humble Texas school plagued by bats

HUMBLE, Texas

Some unwelcome visitors have been on hand near the entrance to a Houston-area school.

The Humble Independent School District this week notified parents of a bat colony that has been discovered near an entrance to Humble High School.

Principal Charles Ned says no bats have been found in the building and no students have come in contact with the animals.

Ned says pest management specialists have been working to remove and block the bats, which were discovered Tuesday. Students have been advised to use another entrance during the bat removal process.
