| Lawsuit Filed in Fatal H-E-B Crash | | The husband of a woman who died when an out-of-control car crashed into a southeast Houston H-E-B store is asking for more than $1 million in a lawsuit that names the grocery chain along with the driver and another person who owns the sport utility vehicle. Houston police said the driver was backing out of a handicapped spot near the store's exit when the SUV suddenly began to pick up speed. Before crashing into the building, the speeding vehicle knocked away a heavy concrete sphere positioned in front of the grocery store meant to prevent such occurrences. The lawsuit contends the concrete spheres were "deficiently built, poorly maintained, poorly designed and/or improperly installed."
