ARCOLA - A 13-year-old Houston youth was killed and four people were injured when a homemade horse trailer broke away from a pickup truck, striking the vehicle in which they were riding.
Michael Carl Douglas of 4322 Marchant was pronounced dead at 4:40 p.m. Sunday on FM 521, a half-mile south of Texas 6. Listed in serious condition in Fort Bend Community Hospital are Robert C. White, 32, an accounting officer of 4326 Marchant in Houston, who was driving the 1974 GMC vehicle; Robert Tremaine, 10; and Marcus White, 4, both of the same Houston address.
One of the driver's sons, Joshua White, 5, was in pediatric intensive care at Hermann Hospital.
According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, the horse trailer broke loose from a pickup truck after it crossed a railroad track on FM 521. The trailer then crossed into the northbound lane, colliding with White's vehicle.
The driver of the pickup pulling the trailer was not injured, DPS reports said.
