Just after 10 pm MCHD and Magnolia Fire were dispatched to a double auto-pedestrian crash on FM 1774 at Cripple Creek in front of the Chevron station. Units arrived on the scene to find a male and female in the roadway and critically injured. MCHD requested an additional ambulance from Northwest EMS. Both victims were transported to Memorial Hermann In the Woodlands in critical condition. Life Flight was originally requested but due to a 25-minute arrival, they were canceled. According to DPS, a young male was traveling southbound on FM 1774 at Cripple Creek at the posted speed limit. The area is in a construction area of the roadway. As the driver approached Cripple Creek both the male and female failed to yield right of way to the truck and were struck. The truck, which had a large bumper suffered very minimal damage. No charges are expected.
