DPS has positively identified the victims of Thursday’s fatal crash on FM 1485 at Oak Grove. According to crash investigators, 48-year-old Kathie Fleming of Conroe struck a cargo truck carrying an oversize compressor.
An escort truck was traveling in front of each of the two big rigs and had signaled oncoming motorists to the shoulder as the load passed.
As the escort truck moved forward, Fleming got back onto the roadway and went into the left turn lane for Oak Grove. That is when she slammed into the enormous load, killing her instantly.
Fleming’s 9-year-old daughter and two sons, ages 12 and 15, were transported to the hospital where they were treated and released. Two other females, ages 10 and 14, were also injured in the Expedition.
A Toyota pickup driven by 53-year-old Urbano Gomez was struck by the Expedition after the initial crash. Gomez was transported to Kingwood Hospital in stable condition.
