Houston, TX (September 12, 2026) — On Thursday, 3 people suffered non-life-threatening injuries after a horrific crash on Highway 249 when an SUV collided with an EMS ambulance.

The crash happened at the intersection of TC Jester Boulevard and Highway 249 near the Mt. Royal Village subdivision. Authorities said a preliminary investigation found that the SUV ran a red light and struck the ambulance, which was not carrying a patient at the time.

All three injured people went to a hospital for treatment. Authorities continued investigating the crash and advised drivers to avoid the area while crews remained at the scene.

Be a Responsible Driver

Be a defensive driver to prevent road accidents. Stay alert, maintain a safe distance, and always expect the unexpected. Avoid distractions, obey speed limits, and use your signals. Watch for pedestrians and cyclists. A proactive, cautious approach keeps everyone safer on the road. Drive smart, drive safe!

Always obey traffic signals and stay alert at intersections. Running a red light can cause serious crashes and put drivers, passengers, and emergency personnel at risk.

What Happens After a Traffic Collision?

The aftermath of a traffic accident can feel overwhelming. Between medical appointments, time away from work, insurance calls, and mounting bills, pursuing compensation on your own can be stressful and time-consuming.

That’s why one of the most important steps you can take after a crash is speaking with a personal injury attorney. Having legal guidance can significantly ease the burden. An experienced attorney understands how to investigate the accident, collect evidence, handle insurance companies, and protect your rights throughout the claims process.

Without legal support, many people find the process confusing and frustrating—and some end up receiving far less compensation than they deserve, or none at all. You shouldn’t have to suffer additional hardship because of someone else’s negligence.
