Humble: Shots fired after FM 1960 crashes
What we know:
The crash was reported at around 2 a.m. Sunday on FM 1960 East close to Wilson Road. The incident consisted of two crashes involving at least four vehicles.
According to authorities, the first crash happened when a GMC Envoy going east on 1960 moved into the westbound lanes while still driving eastward. The GMC reportedly crashed head-on into a Toyota RAV4 that was carrying a family of four in the westbound lanes.
After that first crash, a third vehicle slowed down in the westbound lanes of 1960 and was rear-ended by a fourth vehicle.
Officials say that after the second crash, someone fired gunshots into the back right door of the Toyota before leaving the scene.
Seven people in total were hospitalized.
The injured family from the first crash reportedly included a six-year-old girl who needed to be intubated at first. Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez says her condition is now improving.
The sheriff also noted that the family didn't appear to have been shot.
The alleged wrong-way driver, identified as Joseph Torres, was also taken to a hospital. Officials say Torres showed signs of being intoxicated and has been charged with intoxication assault and aggravated assault.
