Humble ISD Teacher Killed In Fatal Car Crash During Storm

KINGWOOD, TX -- An Humble ISD elementary school teacher was killed during Friday's dangerous storms when she crashed into a downed tree.

The crash happened in the 4500 block of Kingwood Drive at about 8:30 p.m., as heavy rain and gusty winds from a powerful storm that knocked out power, caused flooding and uprooted trees, police said.

The driver of the car was identified as 25-year-old Amy Woodeshick, a 4th grade teacher at Groves Elementary School.

Police Woodeshick was rushed to Ben Taub Hospital and died from wounds sustained in the crash.

Humble ISD released the following statement:

"We are devastated to share the tragic news. Fourth-grade teacher Amy Woodeshick died last night after a car accident on Kingwood Drive, where the storm caused trees to snap and fall.
