23-year-old Cindy Vazquez has been identified as a woman who lost her life following a traffic accident late Thursday in northwest Houston.

The fatal two-vehicle crash took place on Hollister Road near Highway 290 at about 11 p.m.  According to the investigation reports, Cindy Vazquez was a passenger in a white Silverado pickup truck when the driver, identified by Vazquez’s brother as her common-law husband, ignored a red light and crashed into another vehicle.

Reports further added that the truck Vazquez was riding in was heading eastbound on the road when the driver disregarded a red light, colliding with a Honda in the intersection. The Honda rolled multiple times and landed near a tree. Vazquez and the 25-year-old Honda driver succumbed to their injuries at the scene.

Vazquez’s 28-year-old husband was transported to the hospital with unspecified injuries. It is unknown if alcohol played a factor in the collision, but speed might have contributed to the crash. Cindy Vazquez has a 9-month-old son and the baby was not with them in the vehicle at that time. No other details are available.

An investigation continues.
