Major delays on FM 1960 at E. Belleau Wood after forced closure due to deadly crash, sheriff says

ATASCOCITA, Texas (KTRK) -- A major three-vehicle deadly crash forced a shutdown on FM 1960 Monday morning in northeast Harris County, according to the Atascocita Fire Department.

SkyEye video shows heavy traffic along FM 1960 at East Belleau Wood after its closure in both directions. Authorities said the shutdown will last an extended period of time to allow for an investigation.

Sheriff Ed Gonzalez confirmed one person was found dead at the scene and at least two others were rushed to a hospital.

Video from the scene also shows two of the three vehicles heavily damaged and appeared to have spun off road.

Drivers are urged to avoid the area and take alternate routes.
