Houston truck accident attorney, John O'Quinn, killed in SUV crash on Allen Parkway

The SUV  was apparently travelling westbound in the 2000 block of the Allen Parkway when it skidded out of control and crashed. The Chevy  Suburban jumped two curbs before crashing head-on into a tree on the service road to the westbound Allen Parkway.
