The incident in northwest Harris County is a stark reminder of the dangers that exist on roads in the Greater Houston area, including The Woodlands.

The Woodlands Township and Montgomery County government have a vested interest in ensuring that roads are safe for residents, and incidents like this one may prompt a review of traffic safety measures in the area.
