Officers said they found no evidence the driver attempted to stop before crashing into the barrier.

Investigators found no indication any other vehicles were involved.

The victim, who was not immediately identified, was not wearing a seatbelt, police said.

The crash remains under investigation by the Houston Police Department’s Vehicular Crimes Division.
