A Houston-area teen is dead following a weekend accident near Navasota.

According to the DPS, 17-year old Cole Gordon was killed in a crash on Highway 6 near Navasota early Saturday morning.

Troopers said Gordon was traveling southbound on Highway 6 about four miles south of Navasota when he fell asleep at the wheel and lost control of the vehicle and struck a tree.

A passenger survived the crash.

Gordon and Justin Phelps were returning from an auction, bringing pigs back for other FFA students, when the crash occurred.

Friendswood High School says grief counselors will be available to students, who were also offered resources online.
