Just before 3am a Chevrolet Silverado pickup was traveling east on FM 1960 at a very high rate of speed. The driver who was the lone occupant lost control, crossed all five lanes of FM 1960 and struck a utility pole. The impact broke the pole off. The driver was pinned in the vehicle and after being cut out was transported to Ben Taub Hospital in critical condition.
FM 1960 should reopen by 6am.
MCPR was created in 2008 after Jamie left a newspaper that conflicted with her ethics. Initially, it was blog style website where Jamie wrote stories and posted them with photos. Scott provided video, and as the blog grew in popularity, businesses began to inquire about advertising. The blog soon transitioned to a news website, and then to a print newspaper, which was sold in over 100 stores, and through subscription for several years.
