Deadly crash leaves car split in half

A head-on crash kills one and leaves a Ford Mustang split in two east of The Woodlands in Montgomery County.

This happened around 11 o'clock last night on State Highway 242 near where it crosses the San Jacinto River and Crystal Creek.

Troopers say the driver of the Mustang died in the crash. The Mustang was going west when for an unknown reason it crossed over into the eastbound lane as it passed Crystal Creek.

A mother and daughter in a 2014 Nissan going east and were hit almost head-on. Texas DPS says their car flipped. The crash caused the Mustang to continue westbound in a spin. A 2004 Honda, which was also traveling east, T-boned the spinning Mustang splitting it in half and ejecting the driver, who was pronounced dead at the scene.

The mother and daughter were taken to a hospital in The Woodlands in stable condition. DPS says the driver of the Honda was taken to a local hospital. He is in critical condition.
