Tragic. Yes, 2 have been confirmed, the man appears to be twenty years old and a child (between 8 and 10 years old). There was a 2nd car involved, and a few occupants are being transported, in unusual conditions. Currently the Airtex and rd lanes of the service heading north stop. #HouNews https://t.co/A2JJwZQ47g
