A 12-year-old boy who was seriously injured after a Thursday night nasty crash on Highway 249 at Mills Road Friday has died.



Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez says an investigation remains on-going in the fatal crash.





Deputies said the driver of a white car slammed into an SUV just before midnight.



The boy was riding with a woman in the SUV. Deputies said she had her emergency lights on, attempting to get to a safe spot on the road when a car hit her from behind.



The woman and a toddler in a car seat in the back were not injured.



The 12-year-old, who may not have been wearing a seatbelt in the front seat, needed CPR and was transported to a hospital.



ABC13 is working to find out what may have caused the crash and if the driver of the white car was impaired.
