HOUSTON — A second driver has died after a horrific wrong-way crash that shut down the eastbound lanes of the Katy Freeway for hours overnight.

Houston police say a BMW traveling the wrong way slammed head-on into a Tesla Cybertruck near the Washington/Westcott exit just after midnight.

Investigators believe the BMW was heading west in the eastbound lanes of I-10 when it hit the Cybertruck, causing the BMW to burst into flames. The impact sent the Cybertruck into a nearby semi.

Police say the 38-year-old Cybertruck driver, identified by family as Jamar Champ, died from his injuries. The wrong-way BMW driver also died at the scene.

Despite multiple "Do Not Enter" and "Wrong Way" signs posted near the exit, investigators say the BMW's driver likely entered the freeway at that location.

"We believe at this time that the BMW was headed westbound in the eastbound lanes going the wrong direction," said HPD Sgt. Rebecca Dallas.

Residents say wrong-way drivers are a recurring issue in the area.

Truitt Maxwell, who lives nearby, told KHOU 11 he recorded video just weeks ago of another driver turning the wrong way onto Westcott from a gas station.

"I said, 'There's a fatality waiting to happen,'" Maxwell said. "So it seems a little pertinent at the moment."

Maxwell says he's contacted 311 to report concerns about signage and visibility in the area. TxDOT states that it has installed numerous warning signs and red reflectors to deter wrong-way drivers, but the crashes persist.

According to KHOU 11's previous reporting, Harris County has seen 111 wrong-way deaths since 2015, with 233 people injured in wrong-way crashes just last year.

An autopsy will determine if impairment played a role in this latest crash.

Champ's family confirmed to KHOU 11 that he was the driver of the Cybertruck and shared photos he had recently posted of himself with the vehicle. Loved ones remember him as a devoted father and friend.
