A woman was hit and killed by a car packed with egg-chucking teens who ran a red light Tuesday afternoon, marking unincorporated Harris County's first traffic fatality of 2019.
The three teens, including a 14-year-old boy behind the wheel of a GMC Acadia, were fleeing an enraged motorist who gave chase during their alleged egging spree, Harris County Sheriff's Lt. Susan Cotter said. The young driver ignored a red light along Aldine Mail Route Road in north Houston and t-boned a Ford F-150 heading south on Aldine Westfield Road, she said.
Both vehicles tumbled into a nearby ditch. The woman was pulled from the mangled pickup truck but could not be saved. She was not identified.
Two of the boys, including the driver, were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. The third teenager was not harmed and told authorities what happened.
The boy said he and his pals were egging cars when the driver of a gold, 1970s model Lincoln with a white top went after them near Russ Drive, according to authorities. The driver fled the crash site and police are looking for him.
It was not yet known if the teens will face any charges. The crash remains under investigation.(snip)
Update: The 14-year-old driver has been charged with murder.

Houston area, AGAIN and AGAIN!
Well I was about to say that I’d bet the guy giving chase will be in big trouble but then I saw he was driving a 70’s model Lincoln.
So I think he has nothing to worry about.
The SA Marauder probably could have.
They are a tad expensive though.
Top Gear detonated C4 under a hummer and a Marauder. The hummer wound up in pieces while the Marauder cranked up and got underway with a little effort.
