HOUSTON -- One person is dead after a crash Tuesday in north Houston.

Authorities responded to reports of a crash on Aldine Mail Route Road near Aldine Westfield around 11 a.m.

Investigators said a 14-year-old driving a GMC Acadia ran a red light and smashed into a F-150. The driver of the F-150 died at the scene.

Harris County Sheriff's Office said three teens were inside the Acadia throwing eggs at vehicles. A driver, whose car was damaged by the eggs, decided to chase the teens who reportedly took off speeding down Aldine Mail Route Road.
