FM 1488 has reopened at 7:30 p.m. after a fatal crash at 5:15 p.m.
Fire and EMS were dispatched to a reported head-on major accident in the 1700 block of FM 1488 near Peoples Road. When fire and crews arrived the 20-year-old female driver of a 2009 Ford Focus was deceased along with a small companion dog. She has been identified as Taylor Harris of Conroe.
The other vehicle involved in the crash was a 2008 Nissan Armada SUV driven by Melanie Sangil, 32, of Conroe. Sangil and her 3-year-old daughter were transported in stable condition with minor injuries to Conroe Regional Hospital.
According to Sgt. Robert Engel of the Conroe Police Department, Harris was westbound on FM 1488 when for an unknown reason she crossed the center turn lane and struck Sangil who was eastbound head-on. The impact was so hard that the Nissans front license plate imprinted into the Ford Focus front bumper.
Judge Edie Connelly pronounced Harris dead and ordered Eickenhorst Funeral Directors to transport her to the Montgomery County Forensic Center for autopsy.
FM 1488 was closed eastbound at Carriage Hills and the westbound traffic was limited to the shoulder lane.
Are there services for Taylor?????
The London’s want to send our prayers to Holly, Dustin and her baby boy Aiden . . . Taylor will be missed by all. Sweet, sweet beautiful girl.
Taylor harris shall be missed we loved her so much she was such a sweetheart :'( I feel really bad for her family the way there going though right now it must be really tough God Bless her and her Family Way the luck be with you :'(
Dear God…I hope this saves some lives by reminding us to keep our attention focused solely on driving when behind the wheel!
How awful! My thoughts and prayers to the family of Taylor, especially her son. Also, to the lady and child in the SUV…the will forever be affected by this tragic event.
I’m curious to know if the large dent in the Focus’ left rear bumper was from a previous accident (it is a brand new car)….or if she was possibly clipped from behind and forced into oncoming traffic.
Let us please pray, Taylor Harris was a friend of mine, at 20 years old with a young son, she was taken from us way too soon.
A family has lose a beautiful daughter, Taylor also leaves behind a precious child………I will keep Holly and Dustin in my prayers.
Prayers for Taylor Harris’s family and friends as well as Melanie Sangil.
