HOUSTON (AP) - Three people have been killed and two others hurt in a single-vehicle rollover crash in west Harris County.

Police say the wreck occurred about 5 a.m. Saturday when the driver of the small SUV ran off a road and into a ditch about 20 miles west of downtown Houston. The driver and a front-seat passenger were killed when the top collapsed as the truck rolled.

Three other passengers were taken to a hospital, where one of them died.

Houston police spokesman Kese Smith tells the Houston Chronicle (https://bit.ly/1F8lNaX ) the five people in the SUV were male but their ages weren’t immediately known.

The crash remains under investigation.
