Single-vehicle crash on Smith Street with suspected impaired driver kills woman, hospitalizes man

HARRIS COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) — A woman was pronounced dead at the scene of a single-vehicle crash in Humble Sunday morning, Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said.

An investigation revealed that Diana Grace Gonzalez was a front-seat passenger in the vehicle driven by Jason Aycock, 43, who allegedly showed signs of impairment.

According to deputies, Aycock traveled south on a single lane in the 14300 block of Smith Road in a blue 2013 Nissan Versa.

Failing to stay in his lane, investigators said Aycock veered off the left side of the roadway into a grassy ditch and struck a concrete driveway head-on. Then the vehicle hit a tree.

According to HCSO officials, Aycock and Gonzalez were not wearing seat belts during the crash.

Gonzalez was reportedly pronounced dead at the scene, while Aycock was hospitalized in fair condition.

Officials say the investigation into Aycock's signs of impairment is ongoing and no criminal charges have been filed at this time.

Authorities said no video footage was recovered during the initial on-scene investigation.

The case remains open and is under investigation by the Harris County Sheriff's Office Vehicular Crimes Division.
