SUMMARY: A violent crash on Fondren Road near South Braeswood Boulevard sent three people to the hospital and caused power outages for hundreds of homes. Around 2 p.m., a white Honda and a Ford F-150 collided after the Honda tried to swerve around an SUV. Both vehicles flipped, and the Honda split in half after hitting a power pole and tree. Speed, and possibly racing, are suspected causes. Emergency crews rescued a trapped woman from the Honda. Power was restored after seven hours, and investigators say the injured are expected to recover, though one woman remains in critical condition.

Two cars flipped and hit a pole, knocking out power. Three people were hospitalized.
