HOUSTON – A man was killed Friday night after a single-vehicle crash in Southeast Houston, according to the Houston Police Department.
Police said the wreck happened around 9:30 p.m. on Friday, in the 6300 block of East Orem Drive.
Investigators said a silver Nissan Rogue SUV traveling westbound hit a puddle of water just before the crash site. Police said the vehicle then struck a curb. A witness later told investigators they saw the vehicle hit the water and the curb, but did not see whether it spun out.
A separate driver stopped and called for medical help, but did not render aid, police said.
Houston Fire Department crews arrived, attempted lifesaving measures and pronounced the driver dead at the scene, investigators said. No passengers were seen and the driver was believed to be the sole occupant.
Police said the driver was a 30-year-old man. His identity had not been released.
