Fiery Crash Leaves Two Dead After Police Attempted Stop

At approximately 10:00pm on March 28th, 2026, Harris County Sheriff’s Office deputies observed a vehicle run a red light on Spring Cypress Road near Telge Road in Houston.

A deputy attempted a traffic stop, activating lights and siren, but the vehicle accelerated at a high rate of speed, turned off its headlights, and quickly fled out of sight.

Moments later, the vehicle was believed to have continued westbound before leaving the roadway and crashing into a wooded area. When the deputy returned to the area, a fire was observed in the woods.

Authorities located the vehicle fully engulfed in flames. One person had been ejected from the vehicle, while another remained inside. Both individuals were pronounced deceased at the scene.

Officials stated speed was a likely factor in the crash. The identities and relationship of the victims were not immediately known as next of kin notifications were still pending.
