According to Harris County Sheriff’s Office, a wrong-way driver crashed head-on with another vehicle on Sunday on Interstate 10 East in east Harris County.
Initially, HCSO received other calls about a vehicle driving the wrong way on Interstate 10. As the law enforcement officers tried to locate it, they received a report about the crash.
