MAN JUMPS OFF I-45 TO AVOID SEMI THAT RAN OVER AND KILLED 2 WOMEN

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A 1-year-old and a 3-year-old survived a multi-vehicle crash that killed two women, including the children's mother, early Friday morning.

The North Freeway inbound at Rankin is shut down due to the wreck, which involved four vehicles and an Amazon delivery truck.

According to police, around 1:30 a.m., a Lincoln Navigator towing a trailer was traveling southbound on I-45 at Rankin when it got a flat tire. A father, mother and their two children, who are 1 and 3 years old, were inside the SUV.

While they were pulled over on the side of a freeway, a woman driving a Mazda crashed into the back of the trailer. She got out of her car and so did the mother in the Navigator.

As they were standing outside of their vehicles, a Chevy Silverado swerved to miss the crash, hit a wall and spun into the middle lanes of the freeway.

The driver of a Chevy Suburban saw the accident, pulled over and got out to help.

As this was happening, the Amazon Prime truck slammed into all the vehicles, also running over and killing the two women.
