You'll need traffic control on the freeway. That's a negative. We don't need anyone else on the freeway. That's clear.

Police are coordinating with hospitals to check on the conditions of those transported from the crash.

17-36, what I suggest is we're already here on the 59 main lane, so if there's other units, if you could see if they could go to the hospital and check on the conditions of these people, because I don't think we can have it moved until we're confirmed that there's no freaked out or anything like that, because we never got to see or talk to any of the people inside. They were just distracted from the vehicle, and we're stopping the ambulance here. That's clear. I have 17-43 en route. What hospital did they get transported to? I have two hospitals, Ventov and Montmorency for Manzanin.

One lane on the freeway is now open for emergency vehicles.

We got the far west lane open, pushing some traffic through.

And what call slip is it? It's 17 District. It's a major accident on 59 at the Bell. I don't know the call slip. Alright, well, let me go up there and ask her because she didn't send that message.

Efforts are underway to open one lane on the freeway for emergency access.

Houston PD Southwest · 0:15
Yeah, on the main lane, you just have to stay on the right shoulder in order to get to us. We're trying to open one, uh, number one lane in the number one shoulder, but we're actually on the main lane.

Multiple victims remain trapped in the vehicle. All inbound lanes are currently closed.

Reports indicate one vehicle remains on the freeway, while the other is on the ground below.

It's a 59 northbound just before the Beltway, Lane 1 at the exit to the Beltway. One of the vehicles is there and then the other vehicle is on the ground.

Police are responding to a report of a car that fell off the freeway, with people trapped inside and screaming for help.

MT11. Go ahead. Give me two more minutes and code 2 on my beat on my box, please. Hey, I need you to figure out code 2 major. It's a little bit more severe. 59 Inbound Beltway. Vehicle flew off the freeway and the vehicle's on the floor. The people are inside the car screaming and stuff. Need a unit to check by, code 2?

Click2Houston has an article with a video of multiple men trying to help the passengers escape, hinting to me that there are still people alive in there. It’s a small grey sedan, I can’t tell the make or model. Sending prayers to everyone involved.
