Houston (AP) -  Houston police have arrested a driver after a wreck in which the curator of the famed Art Car Museum was struck -- and later died.

Authorities say the accident that killed 51-year-old Tom Jones happened just hours after the 21st annual design-and-decorate-a-crazy-car parade had ended.

Officials say Jones had been sitting with a couple of friends outside the museum when a vehicle early yesterday hit a parked car and then smashed into them.

Jones later died.

Police are trying to determine if the driver was intoxicated. Charges are pending
