First counselors brought him with an air bridge to the Memorial Hermann Hospital Medical Center, where he was declared dead on arrival.
Family members said he had left his mother's house in Missouri City, about thirty kilometers south of Houston an hour earlier, around 7 p.m.
With the intention of picking up his girlfriend from her job in Katy, Johnson never made it, said his parents – pointing to data from an app that showed that his Camaro came to a halt on the Katy Freeway around 8.04 pm.
