A pickup driver may have been intoxicated late Wednesday when his truck collided head-on with another pickup in southeast Houston, killing the other driver, police said.

The driver of a red GMC pickup was eastbound in the 2600 block of Genoa Red Bluff about 10 p.m. when he swerved into the oncoming lanes to pass two cars that were ahead of him, police said.

The truck collided with a westbound Chevrolet pickup, instantly killing the other driver, police said.

The driver of the GMC was taken to Memorial Hermann Hospital in undetermined condition.

Houston police reported finding beer cans in the man's pickup. A blood sample will be analyzed to determine whether he was drunk at the time of the crash, police said.
