Just as troopers finished the Montgomery County crash which killed an 8-month-old child another fatal accident was reported in Walker County. A Jeep Cherokee was driving southbound in the northbound lane of Interstate 45 near the Sam Houston statue (Rush Rd.) when it struck a Chevrolet Cavalier in the left lane. A third vehicle was following the Cavalier. When the Jeep struck the 1999 Cavalier the Jeep rolled once and ended up in the cable barrier. The Cavalier then spun and was struck by the Ford Focus that was following it.
