A black GMC Terrain was traveling at a high rate of speed southbound at the above address when the driver struck a silver Chevrolet Equinox. The impact caused the Equinox to leave the roadway and rollover into the grassy median striking a manhole cover before coming to a rest. 

The GMC Terrain lost control, left the roadway and struck a tree. The male driver was not wearing a seatbelt. Responding Houston Fire Department paramedics pronounced the male deceased at the scene. 

The male driver, 40, of the Equinox, was transported to an area hospital in stable condition.
