Houston, TX (November 23, 2021) – At approximately 12:14 a.m. on the morning of November 23, an auto accident occurred in Houston that required an emergency response. According to reports, the incident occurred in the 2400 block of Westheimer Road.
Officials stated that the collision occurred on Westheimer Road near Argonne Street for reasons still being investigated by police. One or more people were reportedly injured in the crash, though the extent of those injuries nor their identities have been reported at this time.
Several lanes of the roadway were closed while responders worked to secure the scene of the accident. As a result, traffic delays were seen in the area for some time.
