Houston Police Department Releases Identities of Six Victims Killed in Downtown Crash

The Houston Police Department has officially identified all six individuals who tragically lost their lives in a devastating crash that occurred in downtown Houston on Saturday. Among the victims were three former University of Houston football players, adding a heartbreaking element to this already tragic event.

The victims have been identified as Izuchu Oragwu, aged 31, Frank Johnson, aged 31, Zachary McMillian, aged 32, Derek Hayden, aged 33, Christian Herrera, aged 25, and Lauren Robinson, aged 32.

The tragic incident took place around 2 a.m. at the intersection of 2000 Fannin St. According to the Houston Police Department’s investigation, Lauren Robinson was driving a black Acura SUV eastbound on Pierce Street, having the right of way with a green light, when a black Chrysler 300, driven by Christian Herrera, approached the intersection at a high speed, disregarding the red light. The Chrysler collided with the Acura, causing the ejection of three individuals from the vehicle. Tragically, the Chrysler also veered off the road and struck Frank Johnson, who was a pedestrian at the time.

Paramedics arrived at the scene and pronounced both Frank Johnson and Izuchu Oragwu dead. Zachary McMillian and Derek Hayden were rushed to a nearby hospital but sadly succumbed to their injuries shortly after, according to the Houston Police Department.

In addition to the fatalities, two other passengers in the Acura, a 32-year-old man, and a 30-year-old woman, sustained injuries and were taken to the hospital for treatment. The woman is currently in critical but stable condition, while the man’s condition is stable. Investigators have confirmed that both individuals are conscious and able to communicate.

As of now, law enforcement believes there were no passengers in the Chrysler at the time of the crash. The investigation into the incident is ongoing, with authorities working diligently to gather all necessary evidence and determine the factors that led to this devastating accident.
