It happened in the 4300 block of W Tidwell around 3:20 p.m. on Monday. According to the Houston PD, a young woman was driving a black Honda Civic in the southbound lanes of Bertellis when she left a stop sign to go into the W Tidwell intersection.
As it entered the intersection, investigators said a Chevrolet Silverado pickup heading westbound crashed into the Honda, causing it to strike a tree in the median. Two women inside the vehicle died as a result. Medical examiners later identified the women as TikTok influencer, Britney Murphy A.K.A. thatgirlbritneyjoy and Sherie Ihemedu.
