HOUSTON - Three valet drivers from nearby clubs in southwest Houston died, authorities say, after a speeding car crashed into them Friday night.
It happened around 10:40 p.m. on Fairdale and Fountainview, where according to HPD Asst. Chief Bashir, an officer saw a vehicle doing donuts and "burnouts." That officer then tried to pull over the vehicle but it took off speeding.
