@angiekaye:
 
Yep. I was in traffic over there around 330. The feeder between 1314 and the NP drive entrance onto 59 was shut down. It was a mess. Helicopters flying. Prayers for all involved. 4951

A little after 3pm a sewer worker was working on the southbound feeder of US 59 near FM 1314 when a vehicle disregarded the traffic cones and slammed into the rear of the pump truck. The impact pinned the construction worker between the pump truck and the striking vehicle. The driver of the vehicle also died on the scene. US 59 southbound feeder remains closed south of FM 1314 and will for several hours. Alternate routes are use Sorters Road as FM 1314 is backed up to Sorters Road from the freeway and Loop 494 is backed up from Kingwood. 4951

There was also a 3 or 4 car rear ender on KW Drive headed east just between the RR tracks and Wendy's around 2pm or so. Getting where I just don't want to drive in peak traffic anymore. 4951

I'm out of town. Was the driver killed or the driver and the person working at the truck?
I hate to hear anyone died but multiple people is even worse.
People just drive those outer roads like there's no tomorrow.
Prayers for those involved and their respective families.

@J2911: So sad. Double tragedy.
I'm wondering if the pump truck had flashing lights on it or if he was counting on the cones to alert people.
The reason I think this is the motor cycle accident on 494 last week. My wife and I were some of the first there. We jumped out of our truck and I was on my knees next the the injured rider. After a few minutes, I looked down 494 towards Kingwood Drive and thought Holy Sh&t. We right in line with Southbound traffic and nothing but our bodies to stop then.
Luckily there was a person in line who had stone flashers on his truck. I asked him to block traffic.
There is not much more dangerous than these outer roads and 494.
Again, just a tragic occurance.
God Bless all.

From what I hear the truck was bright red and safety cones were out. One of our sons friend passed this truck earlier before this happened.

When I passed it before the accident, there were cones out. Can't remember seeing flashing lights. 4951

My friend told me what's worse is that apparently the worker's brother was on scene and witnessed his brother getting killed. That tore my heart out. Emoticon Prayers for all involved. 4951

@starryskies67: Yes, that is sadly true. They said the brother got in a truck and tried ramming the car with it to move it off his brother but he could not be saved.

I passed them at about 2:30. They had flashing lights on their trucks and the cones. I saw the flashing lights quite a way off. I don't know how the car didn't see them(texting maybe). Prayers for their families. 4951
