The Longview Police Department is conducting an investigation about a suspected hit-and-run collision on Green Street, Tuesday evening.
At around 10:21 p.m., local officials received a call reporting an unconscious man lying on the roadway. When emergency crews arrived at the scene, they found a man who appeared to have injuries that were considered life-threatening. He was immediately rushed to a local hospital where he was declared deceased. His identification has not been released at this time.
The death of Garrett is still under investigation and anyone with information is asked to call the Longview Police Department at 903-237-1170 or Gregg County Crime Stoppers at 903-236-7867.
The roadway was temporarily closed from Nelson to Melton Street to give way for clearing and investigation.
According to the National Highway Traffic Administration (NHTSA), car accidents happen almost every minute of every day, and for every 16 minutes, a car accident occurs that results in death. That is roughly about 6 million car accidents every year and 90 people dying in car accidents every day in the U.S. alone. Driving while distracted, under the influence of alcohol, and at an unsafe speed are three most common causes of car accidents.
