HOUSTON -- In each of the past five weekends, someone has died in wrecks where a car was pulled over on the shoulder of a highway, KPRC Local 2 reported.

Houston police said 27-year-old Scott Huebner caused the most recent crash.

Huebner is charged with criminally negligent homicide for allegedly veering off Highway 290 Sunday and killing a wrecker driver who was trying to tow a pickup truck that was abandoned on the shoulder.

Isidoro Ramirez, 27, was pinned between his flatbed wrecker and the disabled pickup truck, police said. He died at the scene.

Harris County Precinct 4's Chief Mark Herman said that if your car is drivable, drive to a safe parking lot instead of stopping on a shoulder. He said drivers need to use their best judgment when their vehicles are disabled.

"Me, myself, I would stay inside my my vehicle, keep something between (me and a possible oncoming vehicle) ... use your good judgment," he said.

At least three of the five recent deadly accidents involved alleged drunken drivers
