A fatal crash has just cleared on FM 149 just south of FM 1375 north of the city of Montgomery. A 20-year-old male from Houston was southbound approximately 4:00 p.m. when his 1999 Chevrolet Malibu went into a skid and spun hitting a pine tree.
Montgomery Fire Department was dispatched to the scene as was MCHD. The male who has yet to be identified was cut out of the vehicle by firefighters.
He was pronounced dead on the scene by Precinct 1 Justice of the Peace Lanny Moriarty. He ordered Eickenhorst Funeral Directors to transport the driver to the Montgomery County Forensic Center for autopsy.
Troopers on the scene do not believe the driver was speeding but do believe he was driving too fast for conditions.
