Catherine Randolph, who was one of the seven injured people, was driving a pickup with two passengers. Police said that Randolph failed to control the speed of the truck and hit the back of a sports utility vehicle that had stopped at a red light. The accident happened at the intersection of Highway 36 and Loop 322 at around 1 in the afternoon. A press release stated that there was no evidence of braking before the impact.
