What Happened In This Crash?

Today we want to discuss a crash that occurred on July third on Oakdale Road off of Brookshire Boulevard. Police say that a two-vehicle collision killed one woman and injured four others. Witnesses say that a Hyundai Sonata was heading northeast when the driver crossed into the southwest lanes and struck a Dodge Charger.

• A passenger in the Sonata, 53-year-old Sheila Mosby, was taken to the hospital where she later died from her injuries.
• Both drivers and other passengers from the vehicles were taken to the hospital with serious injuries, none of them life-threatening.

Police say they suspect that drug impairment played a part in the crash and that detectives will likely charge the driver of the Sonata with DUI.
