2 Injured in Clute Car Accident
The crash happened on a weekday morning at Plantation Drive and Main Street, and both drivers were taken for medical care.
Two people were injured in a car crash on Plantation Drive in Clute on November 10, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.
The Morning Crash at Plantation Drive and Main Street
Callers reported a major wreck at Plantation Drive and Main Street, and crews responded around 7:58 a.m. Tuesday. A Department of Public Safety spokesman said a Brazoria County sheriff's deputy was headed east on Plantation Drive in a marked Chevrolet Tahoe, with lights flashing and sirens sounding. A 43-year-old Clute resident was heading south on Main Street in a Honda Pilot.
The spokesman said the deputy went into the intersection on a red light, and the Tahoe hit the front passenger side of the Pilot. The deputy had minor injuries and went to an urgent care clinic in Lake Jackson. Paramedics took the Pilot's driver to CommonSpirit-St. Luke's Hospital-Brazosport.
Where the State Troopers' Investigation Stands
State troopers are leading the investigation, and the Department of Public Safety has released nothing more. The agency directed questions to the Brazoria County Sheriff's Office. A sheriff's office spokeswoman said Wednesday that she had no information to release yet. The sheriff's office has not confirmed if there were other occupants in either vehicle.
Police often ask witnesses to come forward in the days after a crash. Even a small detail from someone who saw it can help fill in the picture.
