THE WOODLANDS, Texas — A deadly crash in The Woodlands turned into a massive fireball late Monday night.
The crash happened at the intersection of College Park Drive and FM 1488 when witnesses called 911 and said a car exploded into a ball of flames and set a wooded area on fire.
Witnesses told Texas DPS troopers that an 18-year-old in a Mercedes-Benz was likely speeding when his car left the road. DPS determined the 18-year-old drove straight into the woods, hitting a utility pole and a tree before his car was engulfed in flames.
The Woodlands Fire Department along with Needham Fire were able to quickly extinguish the fire. Officials haven't identified the 18-year-old but said he lived in The Woodlands.
