Officials tell Eyewitness News the driver of a red GMC pickup truck was coming from I-45 onto the Loop where the two freeways meet. The truck was speeding and lost control, sliding across a grassy median and into the westbound lanes.
A dump truck then T-boned the red pickup, killing the person inside.
A black pickup truck and an SUV were also involved in a crash.
Authorities say the vehicles were stopped behind the first wreck, when an 18-wheeler hit the SUV pushing it into the black pickup.
