First responders arrived to find a vehicle damaged enough to require medical transport. The driver was injured in the impact. Harris County emergency crews handled the scene and got the person to treatment.
Balsam Lane sits in a residential area, so the disruption hit a quieter corridor than you'd see on a freeway. Still, the road was affected while crews cleared the wreckage and investigators worked the scene.
