Driver in 2-vehicle crash on Gulf Fwy found with gunshot wound, 2 southbound lanes blocked: Police

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Dickinson police officers responding to a two-vehicle crash on the Gulf Freeway said they found one of the drivers with a gunshot wound to the head.

The crash has blocked two southbound lanes near FM 517 and has backed up traffic up to FM 646. Traffic is delayed up to 45 minutes.

The Dickinson Police Department says it is unclear whether the driver’s gunshot wound was self-inflicted or caused by someone else, but that is under investigation. The other driver was not injured, police said.

One southbound lane is still open, but only for the traffic stuck behind the crash.

Drivers will have to get off the Gulf Freeway before FM 517, or use Highway 3 as an alternate.
