Harris Co., TX (June 15, 2026) – A 2-year-old child was killed Saturday afternoon, June 13, in a crash on FM 2920 near Hegar Road in northwest Harris County, according to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.
The crash happened in the 26000 block of FM 2920 in the Hockley area. Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said the crash involved a U-Haul box truck and a Jeep occupied by a mother and two children.
Authorities said the child was pronounced dead at the scene. The mother and an 8-month-old child were taken to a hospital with minor injuries.
Gonzalez said there were no signs of intoxication in the incident. Investigators had not said whether charges were expected, and the crash remains under investigation. We extend our sincere condolences to the family of the deceased.
Where the Crash Happened: FM 2920 near Hegar Road
The reported location is FM 2920 near Hegar Road in northwest Harris County’s Hockley area. Farm-to-market roads can carry a mix of local drivers, commercial vehicles, and longer-distance traffic, often with access points, intersections, and stretches where vehicles may be moving at higher speeds than on neighborhood streets.
That road setting matters because investigators may need to review traffic direction, lane position, shoulder or ditch areas, and how each vehicle moved before the crash. The location near Hegar Road also gives investigators a defined area for checking witnesses, roadway evidence, and any nearby cameras.

Why Crashes on Farm-to-Market Roads Can Be Severe
Crashes on farm-to-market roads can become serious because these corridors often combine through traffic with local access. In this case, the crash involved a box truck and a Jeep on FM 2920, a setting where the size and weight difference between vehicles can affect the outcome.
The report also noted that the Jeep entered a ditch during the crash sequence. That detail matters because investigators may need to review the roadway edge, vehicle path, and final positions to understand how the collision unfolded.
How this crash is investigated
Harris County investigators will likely review the vehicles’ paths, roadway marks, damage patterns, witness statements, and the final positions of the Jeep and box truck. Because a child died, investigators may also coordinate with the medical examiner’s office and review the full crash sequence before making any final determination.
The source report said investigators had not announced whether charges were expected. Until the investigation is complete, the crash should be described based on confirmed facts rather than assumptions about fault.
What to do after a fatal crash in Texas
After a fatal crash, the official report can help families and involved parties understand what investigators documented after scene work, interviews, and evidence review.
In Texas, crash reports are handled by the Texas Dept. of Transportation (TxDOT) — custodian of records via CRIS. The official portal is the CRIS Public Portal — cris.dot.state.tx.us/public/Purchase. The report forms listed for Texas are CR-3 (report); CR-91 (mail request).
Texas’s listed report fee is $6 regular; $8 certified (online via CRIS, credit/debit). Officers have 10 days to file; ~4 business days TxDOT processing (often 7-10 business days available). Reports may be requested by parties with proper interest get unredacted; others receive redacted copy (§ 550.065(c)). Texas has not a fixed public window — eligibility-based redaction.
Further details may be released after the Harris County Sheriff’s Office completes its review.
