At 1:30 pm a male driver in a Honda Accord was westbound on SH 99 just east of I-69. For unknown reasons, he left the left shoulder of the freeway and went between the guardrails of the eastbound and westbound lanes on SH99 just before the overpass. The vehicle launched several hundred yards and dropped some 50 feet below. The driver was ejected and pronounced deceased on the scene. DPS is investigating the crash. No other vehicles were involved. Montgomery County Precinct 4 Justice of the Peace Jason Dunn responded to the scene for the inquest and ordered Eickenhorst Funeral Directors to transport the victim to the Montgomery County Forensic Center.
