An "awful" car accident shut down a major U.S. highway for hours on Wednesday evening.
The fatal crash, which reportedly killed a child, shut down Gulf Freeway's southbound lanes at Bay Area Boulevard for several hours on Wednesday evening. A car reportedly lost control, crossed several lanes of traffic and slammed into a concrete barrier.
The crash happened just before 4 p.m. on Wednesday. Tragically, a small child was confirmed dead.
From the report:
At about 5:30 p.m., police said a small child was confirmed dead as a result of injuries from the crash.
Authorities said multiple people were transported to the hospital with injuries, but the exact number and their conditions remain unknown.
SkyEye was overhead as two Life Flight helicopters arrived at the scene and loaded the victims onboard.
City of Webster officials told drivers to expect a prolonged freeway closure. All southbound traffic is being diverted off at the West Bay Area Boulevard exit ramp.
An investigation into the crash is taking place.
Our thoughts are with the friends and family members of the victim.
