Just after 11:30 a.m. DPS and Cleveland Fire Department was dispatched to a major accident on Loop 105 between US 59 and SH 105. When they arrived on the scene they found a Lambert’s Redy-Mix dump truck on it’s side. The truck had lost it’s load of almost 12 yards of sand. It was also heavily damaged on the left side. Approximately 100 yards away was a Chevrolet pickup with the cab ripped open. Inside were an elderly male and female. The male was deceased on the scene. The female was flown to Hermann Hospital in Houston in very critical condition.
According to DPS the pickup was east bound on Loop 105 and for an unknown reason veered into the westbound land. The dump truck, which had just gotten onto the loop fro FM 1010 struck the pickup before rolling over.
According to a witness, the dump truck which was westbound did everything possible to avoid the collision including going off to the side of the road.
Part of the door of the pickup was impaled in the dump bed of the dump truck.
The driver of the dump truck suffered minor injuries.
At this time DPS is not releasing names until the next of kin are notified.
As of 430pm the Loop remains closed.
