[74-911]

Saturday afternoon, eastbound IH10 between SATX and Houston, perfect weather. Crested a small hill and saw nothing but brake lights and cars on both sides of the road with flashers going and people running across the road into the median. As we got closer saw a SUV in the median sitting on it's roof, it had obviously rolled several times, with a trail of clothes, opened suitcases leading to it.

A woman was laying in the grass in the median with 4-5 people kneeling around her and another woman walking around with a small girl (3-4 yrs old) clutched to her chest and holding her head so she couldn't look around. Another 4-5 people at the SUV appeared to be trying to get someone else out of it.

We eased on by as there was nothing we could do and already a pretty good crowd milling around. About 10 minutes on up the road we met a highway patrol car with every light flashing hauling a$$ towards the accident. No idea where an EMS would have come from to get to the site but it would take a while.

Traffic was the usual IH10, fairly heavy and moving 75-80 for the most part. Assume the driver dozed off or was distracted by something, got into the rumble strips or shoulder, over corrected and rolled it.

Can't help but wonder what happened to make it roll and to the people inside. You hope no one was seriously injured but as it will most likely make no newscasts or papers we will probably never know. Whatever the case, one families life will never be the same.
