Three Wrecks Near Katy Leave One Dead and Dozens Hurt
A series of crashes on Highway 90 near Katy over the holiday weekend killed Mrs. Mildred Koska Antoine of Houston and injured 15 others. In one collision west of Katy, Antoine died from a broken neck and crushed chest, with six others hospitalized. A second crash involved a fast sports car passing another vehicle, sending seven injured, two seriously, as investigators cited negligent homicide charges for the Austin driver.
