PASADENA, Texas (AP) — Authorities near Houston say four people are dead and two others are in critical condition after a car drifted into oncoming traffic and slammed into a taxi cab.
Pasadena police say the impact sounded like an "explosion" to an officer who happened to be near the early morning crash.
Investigators say the car that hit the taxi apparently went too fast around a curve and lost control.
Police say two people in the car died along with two passengers in the back seat of the taxi. The taxi driver and a front-seat passenger were airlifted to a hospital with critical injuries.
