Highway 146 Closure Planned
LA MARQUE — A 2-mile stretch of state Highway 146 in La Marque will be shut down Monday and Tuesday as state road crews begin a 30-day bridge project.

Motorcycle Driver Hurt In Wreck
SANTA FE — A man was in critical condition Saturday after his motorcycle collided with the back of a suburban on state Highway 6 near Algoa-Friendswood Road, sheriff’s officials said.
The driver of the motorcycle was life-flighted at about 7 p.m. to the University of Texas Medical Branch John Sealy Hospital with a serious head injury, Maj. Ray Tuttoilmondo, a Galveston County Sheriff’s Office spokesman, said.
The man, in his early 20s, was traveling westbound on Highway 6 when he struck the suburban, also heading west, just before 6:30 p.m., Tuttoilmondo said.
The accident caused state Highway 6 to shut down, and crews still were clearing the wreckage at 8:30 p.m.
Officials said they believe speeding was a factor in the accident.
