Head On Collision on 146 Hospitalizes 2, LIVINGSTON, March 23, 2013 - At around 1:15 pm on March 23, 2013, a white Ford Ranger driven by Hailey Crew, 20, of Humble was south-bound on South Houston (146). Crew's vehicle veered from the south-bound lanes into the north-bound lanes and struck an International 4400 recreational vehicle driven by Richard McDonald of the Escapees, bounced off the recreational vehicle and slammed head on into a north-bound white Isuzu Axiom driven by Brittany Meeks, 19, of Livingston. All three vehicles came to rest on the north-bound side of South Houston. Americare Ambulance Service was dispatched to the scene along with the Livingston Volunteer Fire Department, and Officers Brandon Brewer, Kaleb Barker, and Sergeant Lewis Milner (all with Livingston PD). Hailey Crew's vehicle caught fire and was extinguished by firemen from Livingston. Crew and Brittany Meeks were transported by ambulance to Livingston Memorial Hospital with undisclosed injuries. Crew transported by ambulance to Hermann Hospital in Houston a short time later. Richard McDonald was physically okay. All traffic on 146 was blocked for most of the investigation and cleanup.
