Police said the driver of the white Lamborghini departed the Belvedere lounge upon its closing about 2 a.m. and lost control of the car, striking two pedestrians and two other vehicles in the parking lot. The pedestrians and a woman from one of the two other vehicles were taken to a hospital. (more…)

Animal Control Officers from Fort Worth took possession of the four Boxer dogs while leaving the other three dogs, which were not involved in the attack. The four dogs belonged to the boy’s grandparents, who surrendered them.

Tarrant County Deputies arrested the boy’s grandmother on suspicion of assault after she had a confrontation with a neighbor over the dogs, which was caught on a news crew’s camera. (more…)

Houston police took the driver into custody. They said the driver was arrested on suspicion of DWI, or driving while intoxicated.

The woman in the other vehicle suffered what were reported to be back and neck injuries. She was taken to a local hospital, according to KHOU, Channel 11.

Police needed about 30 minutes to clear the accident scene, which meant North Shepherd was closed during that time.

As with an accident on Tuesday morning, the accident on Wednesday morning involved a school bus from the Humble Independent School District. The bus was hit by another vehicle immediately north of Beltway 8 on Lockwood around 7 o’clock. (more…)

The students were from Atascocita High School in the Humble Independent School District. They were riding in a vehicle in the 16400 block of West Lake Houston Parkway in the vicinity of Breakwater Path when it was involved in a crash around 8 a.m. Tuesday. (more…)

On Wednesday the Houston area has a 100 per cent chance of receiving heavy thunderstorms,  according to weather forecasters.

Such forecasters are accustomed to calculating the weather as percentages and “chances,” but when it’s 100 per cent, then technically that’s not a chance but a certainty.

It will rain Wednesday — perhaps hard. Count on it.

Less certain but strong possibilities are gusty winds and thunder, along with some street flooding. There may even be isolated tornados.

Thunderstorms should reach the Gulf Coast by 2 a.m. Wednesday, while others should hover west of Houston later in the morning. Indeed, a “severe weather outlook” for a 23-county area including Harris County has been issued by the National Weather Service.

How much rain is expected? One to three inches are possible in many areas, and as much as five inches in spots where thunderstorms linger.

Obviously, flooding may be a problem. As always, drivers are advised not to venture out unless necessary, and not to drive into high or rising waters in hopes of passing through.

The students’ bus was traveling south on I-45 North when the accident occurred about 9 a.m. The bus and another vehicle collided near the Gulf Bank exit.

Among the students was a child who attended Reece Early Childhood Pre-Kindergarten and four children who attended Bethune and Anderson elementary schools. One student was taken to school, but as a precaution, the other four were taken to Texas Children’s Hospital.

No other details were immediately available.

Statistically, school buses are a relatively safe means of transportation. However, about two dozen students die each year in school bus accidents in the United States, and many more are injured.
