A speeding tow truck slammed into the rear of a passenger vehicle in Northwest Harris County one Sunday morning, killing a baby boy and injuring his mother, and Zehl & Associates report the case in detail on this page. The February 13 crash occurred just after 10:00 a.m. at Cunningham and Little York Road, where the mother and her infant son were stopped at a red light in a Nissan.
According to the account, the tow truck approached at high speed, failed to stop, and drove the Nissan into a ditch, with a sedan being towed also flipping into the ditch. The firm quotes a Harris County official saying there was no indication of braking before impact. The 39-year-old driver escaped injury, was taken into custody, and was charged with manslaughter in connection with the baby’s death.
