Two elderly women died and two others were hospitalized after a Buick collided with a Tesla Cybertruck in Houston's Galleria area on March 10, 2026. The crash occurred in the 4600 block of Post Oak Place around 1:30 p.m., according to the Houston Police Department. Investigators are examining whether the Buick failed to yield at an intersection and if the Cybertruck was speeding.
The Houston Police Department reported a fatal two-vehicle collision on Tuesday afternoon in the upscale Post Oak neighborhood, near Post Oak Place Drive and Briar Hollow Lane. The incident involved a white Buick sedan carrying four elderly women as passengers and a Tesla Cybertruck. Two of the women in the Buick were pronounced dead at the scene, while the other two were transported to a nearby hospital with conditions unknown.
Preliminary investigations by HPD's vehicular crimes division suggest the Buick may have stopped at a stop sign but failed to yield, leading to the collision. Authorities are also probing whether the Cybertruck was traveling above the speed limit, though neither factor has been confirmed. Lt. Larry Crowson stated that the male driver of the Cybertruck remained at the scene and is cooperating with investigators. He was uninjured.
The crash was reported just before 1:30 p.m., with some accounts placing it closer to 2 p.m. Both vehicles sustained front-end damage, as observed by aerial footage from SkyEye. Officers from the Central and Violent Crimes divisions responded to the scene in the West Loop area, urging the public to avoid it during the ongoing probe.
HPD has not released the ages or identities of the victims, describing them only as elderly women. No further details on the circumstances have been disclosed as the investigation continues.
