The Late Night Crash on US 290
Deputies were called to the crash at about 9:17 p.m. Sunday. Investigators said Davis was heading west when his car moved across multiple lanes and struck a Toyota 4-Runner driven by Randy Lim. The sheriff's office said the impact pushed Davis' vehicle toward the north, where it struck a Kia Forte driven by Kyerra Fields and then hit a freeway cement wall. Jersey Village EMS transported Davis to HCA Houston Healthcare North Cypress, and the sheriff's office said he died there of his injuries. Davis had spent 15 years with the Lone Star College Police Department and was a retired Houston Police Department officer.

The Harris County Sheriff's Office is handling the investigation. Authorities have not said what led to the start of the crash, and no charges have been announced. Lone Star College System officials said they were aware of the incident and extended condolences to everyone affected. The Lone Star College Police Department posted a tribute that thanked Davis for his 15 years of service.
Which agency investigates often depends on where the crash happened. Highway crashes are often handled by state police or highway patrol, and crashes on city streets by local officers.

Funeral costs. Every state has a victim fund that pays funeral costs after some crashes, and the fund decides who qualifies.
Survivor payments. If the person who died had worked, their spouse or children may get monthly Social Security payments. Applying early matters.
