Houston, deputies said, left the neighborhood at a high rate of speed and deputies began following her. She attempted to go around a vehicle to get away from deputies and ended up colliding with a Ford F-250 in oncoming traffic, officials said. Houston, the sole occupant of the mini-van, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Occupants of the Ford F-250 were taken to San Antonio Military Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries.
The deadly crash is under investigation by the Comal County Sheriff’s Office, the Department of Public Safety, and the Texas Rangers.
