A 17-year-old boy and a 31-year-old man were killed, and five others injured after cinderblocks collapsed while a family was releveling a mobile home in Brazoria County.
Releveling Turns Deadly
A tragic accident in Brazoria County has left two people dead and five others injured after a family attempted to relevel a mobile home. The incident occurred on Sunday afternoon in Angleton, a city located just south of Houston.
According to the Brazoria County Sheriff’s Office, the family was in the process of releveling their mobile home when the cinderblocks supporting the structure broke, causing part of the home to collapse. Several family members were trapped beneath the mobile home in the immediate aftermath.
Emergency Rescue Efforts
Rescue teams responded quickly to the scene, managing to save five people trapped beneath the collapsed structure. Four of the rescued individuals were taken by helicopter to Houston-area hospitals to receive urgent medical care. However, despite the efforts of first responders, two lives were tragically lost.
Two Lives Lost in the Accident
Both a 17-year-old boy and a 31-year-old man were killed in the accident. Authorities have not released their identities at this time, pending notification of next of kin. The loss of life in such a sudden and tragic event has left the community of Angleton reeling with shock and grief.
Investigation Ongoing
While authorities have labeled the incident a tragic accident, an investigation is ongoing to determine the exact circumstances that led to the collapse of the mobile home.

It remains unclear if any violations of safety standards occurred during the releveling process.
