Suspect in deadly crash at car meet charged with 3 counts of manslaughter
HOUSTON - A suspect is now charged with three counts of manslaughter in connection to the deadly crash at a car meet in northwest Harris County.
On Tuesday, the sheriff's office said a 14-year-old boy who was injured in the crash was pronounced brain dead at the hospital. A 35-year-old man and a 16-year-old boy also died in the crash.
The sheriff’s office identified the suspect as 22-year-old Andrew Mock.
The deadly crash occurred in the 14900 block of the Northwest Freeway near Little York around 9:35 p.m. Sunday.
Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said people were standing on the side of the road during a "car meet" when two cars crashed.
The sheriff’s office says Mock was driving a yellow Chevrolet Camaro at a high rate of speed when he struck the back of a black Chevrolet Malibu. Deputies say the collision caused the Malibu to leave the roadway and go onto a sidewalk, where people were standing.
The 35-year-old man died at the scene. The two teen boys were taken to the hospital by Life Flight in critical condition.
