SPRING, Texas (KTRK) – A family of four died when a multi-vehicle accident ended in flames in northwest Harris County, according to Harris County Police District 4.

A 7-month-old, 2-year-old, 5-year-old child and his mother were killed on FM 2920 near Gosling Road at about 8:50 pm on Sunday, according to the Spring Fire Department.

Their car caught fire after being hit in the back in a chain reaction accident involving seven to nine cars.

When firefighters arrived at the scene, officers immediately performed CPR on at least one of the injured children. Lieutenant Michael Cohen said the child was taken to a hospital in The Woodlands by Life Flight.
