2 drivers killed in wrong-way crash on Fred Hartman Bridge in La Porte

LA PORTE, Texas (KTRK) -- Two people were killed when a wrong-way driver hit another car on the Fred Hartman Bridge in the La Porte area late Monday, according to deputies.

Harris County Precinct 8 constable deputies said the two cars hit head-on in the far left northbound lane, just before midnight.

Deputies learned a black GMC half ton pick-up truck, being driven by 90-year-old Major Abram of the east Houston area, was travelling southbound in the northbound inside lane of the bridge when it collided with a black Toyota Corolla. The Toyota's driver was identified as 27-year-old Lamont Rhodes of the southern Houston area. Both drivers died at the scene as a result of the impact.

There were no passengers in either vehicle and no other vehicles were involved.

Investigators said they do not believe alcohol was a factor, but the investigation into what led up to the crash is ongoing.
