Harris County Sheriff's Office deputies were called to a multi-vehicle crash around 9:17 p.m. Sunday on U.S. 290 near West Street in the Jersey Village area. Investigators said Ronald Davis, 65, was driving westbound when he failed to stay in a single lane and lost control of his vehicle.
Investigators said his car crossed several lanes of traffic and hit a Toyota 4-Runner driven by Randy Lim. The impact sent Davis's vehicle north, where it struck a Kia Forte driven by Kyerra Fields before crashing into a concrete wall along the freeway. The sheriff's office said Jersey Village EMS took Davis to HCA Houston Healthcare North Cypress, where he later died of his injuries.
The sheriff's office said Davis was a police officer with the Lone Star Police Department for the last 15 years and had retired from the Houston Police Department. Lone Star College System said it was aware of the incident and extended its condolences. The college said it could not comment on details at this time. The Lone Star Police Department posted a tribute on social media, saying Davis had made a lasting impact on those who worked with him.
