Woman killed in Harris County Accident With Utility Truck

An elderly woman was killed early Sunday as the result of a traffic collision with a CenterPoint Energy bucket truck northwest Harris County.   Nancy Wright Hogue is from Hockley, about 35 miles northwest of downtown Houston, Texas.

The CenterPoint driver, Gregory Allen Chelette, smashed into the Honda at the left door. Hogue died on impact. Chelette was not hurt.  The truck driver was unable to stop after Ms. Hogue pulled out into the intersection, and his truck harshly collided with her much smaller car.

Some reports indicate that the woman failed to yield the right-of-way.
