The Houston Police Department has identified the child who died following a tragic vehicle collision on Interstate 10 East, last Wednesday.
According to initial reports, the incident took place at around 6:00 a.m. near San Jacinto River. Police said that a large truck suddenly shifted onto another lane, prompting a crash with a family car. The force of the impact caused the car to flip over and fell upside down on the embankment.
The driver of the family car sustained serious injuries from the crash. He was rushed to a local hospital by Life Flight. Authorities said that a four-year-old passenger, identified as Andrea Salas, died as a result of the collision. Her mother, whose identity has not been released, did not suffer from any injury.
No words on the driver of the truck. An investigation is underway.

We believe that when someone loses a loved one from a car accident, they do not only suffer emotionally but financially as well. If you or your loved one is a victim of a car accident caused by wrongful actions or due to negligence, you may have the right to file for legal claims. Most of the time, families who are left behind after a tragic loss are not aware of their rights and the legal processes needed to obtain fair and just compensation. In times like this, you would need a professional who can provide you with all the support you need as you go through this difficult time.
