CFI involved in fatality wrong way accident with off duty police officer.

Houston police officer killed in wrong-way crash on I-10 near Sealy


I was parked on the highway this morning for 3.5 hours due to accident CFI vs wrong way driver. We ended up having to back about a mile off the highway.

 

No telling at the moment but the car heading in the wrong direction was heading back towards Houston not away Houston.

 

I 10 in Sealy, TX is under construction there with jersey barriers on both sides. The CFI driver appears to have hit the jersey barrier to try to avoid the four wheeler. I don’t know what else he could of done other than sleep in this morning.

 

In that area the frontage roads typically have traffic in both directions. Due to construction the frontage road only goes in one direction. If there isn’t “wrong way” signs put up to alert someone they’re going the wrong way, it seems possible that the construction company and or Texas DOT could be facing an extremely large lawsuit.

 

The news said the police officer was a two year vet and was off work the night before. Very sad situation for the officer’s family and friends and the CFI driver who has to live with that for the rest of his life.
