Just after 6 am this morning a 32-year-old mother was traveling west of FM 787 near the Cleveland Airport and just outside the Cleveland City Limits, when she passed an 18-wheeler in a curve. As she came out of the curve she went into the grass median of the eastbound lanes. After over 100-yards her KIA Sorrento came back onto the road sliding sideways. She was struck by an eastbound 18-wheeler dumptruck. The impact then spun her into the westbound 18-wheeler that she had just passed. A Liberty County Deputy was first on the scene. He immediately called for fire and EMS. A 2-year-old child was ejected while still in the car seat. The deputy was able to get an 8-year-old, suffering from a severe head injury out of the back seat. The mother was deceased. Life Flight was dispatched from Tomball and responded to the scene. Both children were flown to Hermann Hospital medical center in critical condition. DPS investigated the crash. FM 787 reopened at about 10 am.

My day just got a bit greyer.🙈😱😣😭💔💔💔🤕survivors be well.
This is a sad sad thing that happens way to often no matter the cause. My heart goes out to all and any family or individual this happens to. We need to pay attention at all times while driving and keep distractions such as cell devices off or on drive mode and this alone will cut deaths in half at least. Especially when there's little ones on board
So sad!! Sorry for the families loss. 💜🙏😢
I hope the children can recover fully. This family is going to experience some very hard days and I pray God will help them. Nothing that happened had to happen and I'm so sorry they will have to relive this for a long time.
Omg .. seeing a child’s toy just got me … 🙏🏽❤️🥺💐… deepest condolences for mom & prayers for speedy recovery for boys ❤️🙏🏽💐🥺
So crazy that she was hit a second time by the semi she had just passed, this shows that it's not worth it to drive so reckless and fast because you probably won't even make it to your destination!
Looks to me like a woman driving as usual, not paying attention and stupid decisions. Terrible lose for poor driving.
The DPS guys sure need some gym time.
I drive truck to texas twice a month. I am astounded the way ppl drive down here. You all act like youre invincible. Sad thing is— the truckers will be thoroughly investigated looking fir ANYTHING they did wrong.
Prayers for those precious children and to those responders!
The family and friends left behind will need prayers for comfort, and acceptance, and for courage in living ahead.
Prayers for the family of the children and mother that was killed. Also the truck driver.
Because of her stupidity, she's dead and her kids are messed up.
PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS IN A RUSH TO GET SOMEWHERE , WHY ? SLOW THE HELL DOWN. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED . NOTHING WAS THAT IMPORTANT , THIS HAS ME IN TEARS . THIS ACCIDENT HAS CAUSED PAIN FOR ALOT OF PEOPLE , HER FAMILY AND THE TRUCKERS INVOVLED I KNOW HAVE TO BE TRAUMATIZED . PRAYERS FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED. I PRAY FOR THE TRUCK DRIVERS , I KNOW WHAT YOU GO THROUGH BEING A DRIVER . SO SAD
I was behind this accident. It was horrible, way worse in person.
My sympathy to all involved especially the truckie who have to live with this even when he wasn't at fault. As a truckie myself I have seen to many car drivers playing stupid games on the road. IF you have no respect for urself and others stay OFF the road ffs and let others get to and from where they're going. And to pass on a curve is one of the dumbest things to do and sadly this woman learnt that lesson the hard way. I seriously feel for her kids and wish them a speedy recovery.
There are consequences to your foolish actions! I will never understand why cars do this to us! For what? To save a couple seconds?? Hope they were worth your life and putting your children’s lives in danger. Cars need to be more patient. Trucks drive slow because we are very heavy and cannot react like a car. Remember this: It takes a fully loaded 80,000lb truck over THREE FOOTBALL FIELDS to stop! We cannot stop when you dart out in front of us so knock it off or you’ll end up like her. Honestly she made a stupid decision that put EVERYBODY’S lives in danger. I have no sympathy for her! I have sympathy for those kids though. It’s sad they had to suffer for her bad decision and now they don’t have a mom.
I am very sad! That poor poor Peterbilt!😭😢🥺 RIP
I’m a retired medic and mom so these Really hit home, whenever there’s kids ( babies, infants, toddlers, children of any age ) involved – it becomes a different level! It changes your life! 😓
What an awful tragic collision. As a truck driver this is the kind of thing I worry about. Despite not being either of the trucks fault, not only do they have to live with it after, but they will still be as heavily scrutinized by police as if they were at fault.
So sad all around
My medics were there. Very sad morning 😓.
These men on rescue missions are the greatest people on earth ..to see this and endure this seeing children and babies dead and drivers . May God bless them.
People drive reckless.
A tiny car like that is not safe. People are not slow and cautious .
I'm driving 65 years…not one accident accept one not my fault….go slow
Follow rules. Half speed when it rains.
Stay far from the front car.
Go a little less the speed limit.
On winding turns go slow….my God it's easy.
No deaths…
God bless who reads this!
🙏💜🙏💃
Condolences to the family .
From the damage shown of the car, it appears the vehicle was squashed between the trucks.
Why would she take a chance like that with HER KIDS IN THE CAR?
Passing a Semi on a curve?
Gets hit by a dump truck coming towards her in the other lane then hit by the semi she just passed!
2 and 8 year old children!😡
Is that a 2 lane road? Why would anyone pass a 18 wheeler that's appx 65 feet long on a curve???
Slow down people…your life is worth more than 5 minutes👍
Horrible mother
As a truck driver myself,this happens alot. she didn't care about her safety,truckers safety and most importantly,her kids safety,i feel bad for her kids ,for her not so much,i see it every fucking day,most people dont care about us and it's mostly womens. so in a rush to get to McDonald's,Walmart and Starbucks. Just sad and shame on the mess.
A mom loses her life, her two surviving children left fighting for their lives over mom's lack of patience when encountering trucks. I wonder how she dealt with her children on a normal day. Geez so easily preventable. Everyone could have had perfectly normal day, if not for the mom. Actions have consequences.
Slow down, be patient and be safe. Will save life’s. Condolences to her family and prayers to the kids. This will be a ‘what if’ for the rest of the families life.
4 Wheel NASCAR Drivers…
Big Rush,You Pay the Price…!!!
My condolences to the family. May she Rest In Peace.
I haven’t heard of something like this before with children involved. This is really really really heartbreaking. Im so sorry for this family’s loss.
Rip! I lost my oldest son jesse James last year at the tender age of 27years old on Nov30,2021 in corpus cristi by a drunk driver.he was ejected through the back windshield
Sad deal, I wonder how fast she was driving?
Sad
Sad
Sad
😢 Completely senseless tragedy.
All because someone was in a hurry.😢
Dont play on your phone and drive!
A Kia is never on the top of my head when it comes to crash safety. I remember my boss saying get gets a Kia because he can get all the bells and whistles for the same price as base model Toyota or Honda.
I hope these kids are okay. Car seats with 3-point harness is amazing. Britax is a great brand and it's like your kids are in little tanks. I call these super safe car seats "The Orphan Maker".
This can happen when you are in a hurry ❤🙏❤
How does an accident of that severity happen on a straight-away secondary road? Some one was doing something stupid. A terrible shame. Heartbreaking.
When are people gonna learn that few seconds you're trying to save could be your last. My heart goes out to all involved, their lives are forever changed
It effects everyone involved sadly. Sending prayers to everyone affected. Please be careful there's billions of us driving nowadays.
I wonder what she was thinking after things went literally sideways? She obviously was not concerned with anyone's well being prior. I hope everyone else improves from this.
Housaton is a demolition derby of twisted smoldering wreckage and trauma thanks to the forced imposition pouring across the border. The unskilled driver (most of them are -come to Los Angeles and see for yourself) passed an 18 wheeler while going around a curve, driving in the oncoming traffic lane on purpose. She lost control after making the pass (roads were wet) and was going too fast for the conditions. She slid to left shoulder and left the roadway traveling over 100 yards on the grassy shoulder. After over 100-yards her KIA came back on to the road sliding sideways. An eastbound 18-wheeler dumptruck struck her. The impact then spun her into the westbound 18-wheeler that she had just passed.
Time to stop Mexico and it's army of irredentists from coming here, soaking up resources, using the Fourtennth Amendment as the means to conduct a clandestine war against American citizens, and to infiltrate our institutions. This mindless accident makes about as much sense as the statement from the President of the Latino Association: "They may be here against the law, but I wouldn’t call it criminal behavior,” she said. "These people are already here." "They just want a way to legally drive and contribute taxes."
The overwhelming majority of Americans are not taking this issue facetiously raise eyebrows when we hear "came here" "pathway to citizenship" "immigrants" "undocumented immigrants" "migrants" and the ridiculous "U.S.-born children." Nearly 65+ million people have just come here. It's become overbearing, unpleasant and out of control. What happened to aspiring to become Americans instead of this giant middle finger and blatant fraud of the Fourteenth Amendment which does not apply to foreigners, aliens, children of ambassadors or children of diplomats? How is it with a straight face acceptable or legal for those in their third trimesters to cross the border illegally, go into labor as soon as they step foot on U.S. soil to give birth to claim that child as an American when it will be immersed in Spanish and the Mexican culture? That's not coming here. American citizenship is not a loophole or the means to beat the system. Yet the National Council of La Raza constantly campaigns to attempt to convince us that illegal aliens are "immigrants" who are essential, hard workers, pick the crops (although illegals only make up 2% of the agriculture workforce), love their families, pay taxes (which is another folklore). Everybody pays sales tax. No one hates Mexicans, or people with brown skin. We are a nation of laws. That's it. If they come here, do so legally. If they come here illegally, what they do after doesn't matter. To feign that this is somehow acceptable is an insult to all Americans. As a man who has been to 100 countries, and sees what this self-designating and endless quest to wrest away the volition of dissenting American citizens by pretending that we don't know what the Reconquista agenda is, and ignoring our edict to come here legally, respect our culture, our laws, our sovereignty and our flag is equally insulting. That taxpayers are forced to fork over $600 billion plus each year to pay for the services to illegal aliens that don't even apply to them should be the main reason to respect this country. It's not working, and it never will. If only we adopted Mexico's immigration policies, none of this would be happening.
This is the enormous price we are paying for not forcing (actual) American political feet to the fire to enforce our immigration laws without offending the majority Latino Demoncat Party Congress, stopping the ridiculous birth rort, and allowing the Southwest U.S. to become the world's largest reckless sanctuary, staycation destination, and gargantuan amusement park for millions upon millions of illegals. A retrogressive culture with a giant middle finger to our laws, language, culture, flag, citizenship and sovereignty. Each day we ignore this historic deluge, the price increases tremendously. Houston could even now be mistaken for Mexico City. That law enforcement, fire, and all emergency services are becoming majority Latino doesn't take a genius to realize the overwhelming numbers of illegals that are pouring into the states ("they need to have people to speak Spanish to them"). Latino political infiltrators born to illegal alien parents are constantly pushing to force Mexico, it's culture, language, irredentism and endless stream of kinsmen down our throats with the risible parroting that they are hard workers, want a better life, come here to feed their families, are essential, which to them usurps the safety of all of us and our families…
Sick and tired of semis and work trucks sand bagging speed limits. You can’t blame the driver of this car from doing what y’all would have done too. Don’t lie to yourself either!
