2 dead in crash on W. Tidwell near TC Jester

**EDITOR'S NOTE: The video above is from when FOX 26 first reported on the crash on Monday, June 19** Houston police are investigating after two people were killed in a crash on West Tidwell on Monday afternoon.

HOUSTON - Loved ones and fans are mourning the loss of two women, one of who is a well-known TikTok influencer after they were killed during a crash in northwest Houston earlier this week. 

BACKGROUND: 2 women killed in NW Houston crash

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. 

The Chevy then crossed the median as well and hit a white Ford Fusion before flipping and landing on its roof. The 18-year-old driver was found not to be impaired but was taken to a hospital with minor injuries. Additionally, the Ford driver, 42, was not injured.
