Just after 9 pm, East Montgomery County Fire Department responded to a reported major accident at Azalea and FM 1485. Units arrived to find two persons trapped in a Nissan Sentra. Additional two other vehicles were damaged along with a Ford pickup pulling a track-hoe. Caney Creek Fire also was dispatched to the scene as firefighters freed the driver and passenger in the Nissan. The driver was transported to Kingwood Hospital, the passenger suffered minor injuries. According to witnesses, the Nissan was southbound on FM 1485 when the white Ford pickup, which was northbound attempted to pass. He struck the Nissan almost head-on, then went to the ditch also striking another Ford pickup that was traveling with him. Several wreckers were in the area and were able to assist in the cleaning of FM 1485 to get it open sooner than if it had just been the rotation wreckers clearing the road and crash.
