The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office says deputies were on scene of a multi-vehicle crash on I-45 North near Lake Woodlands when one of its deputies was hit by a vehicle overnight.
Officials have not identified the deputy, but other agencies have expressed their condolences, including Harris County Precinct 4 Constable Mark Herman.
“Our hearts are heavy as we mourn the loss of a Montgomery County Sheriff’s Deputy who was tragically killed last night while working a crash scene on Interstate 45,” Herman said.
KPRC 2 is working to learn if other deputies were injured.
A Houston TranStar traffic incident alert lists I-45 northbound at Woodlands Parkway and Robinson Road in Montgomery County as a hazmat spill. TranStar reports impacts to all main lanes, the left and right shoulders, and also the opposing left shoulder and two opposing main lanes.
This is a developing story and will be updated as more information is released.
