The Houston Police Department is still looking for a hit-and-run driver who prompted a collision on North Freeway, last Sunday night.
According to the report released by law enforcement officials, the fatal crash took place at around 10:30 p.m. on North Freeway near West Mount Houston. Details surrounding the incident are limited at this time but it was confirmed that a vehicle struck a pedestrian as it travels along the freeway. The yet to be identified pedestrian was rushed to a local hospital for treatment. Unfortunately, he later succumbed to his injuries a few moments he was admitted.
Meanwhile, the driver of the vehicle escaped the scene following the accident. Investigators have yet to determine the whereabouts and identification of the suspect. They did find a vehicle with a cracked windshield and believe that was the same car that killed the pedestrian.
The crash remains under investigation.
With sincerest sympathies, we would like to express our deepest condolences to the families of the deceased. We strongly believe that the Houston
Police Department will do everything to bring those responsible to justice.
In the United States, Texas is one of the leading states in the number of traffic collisions involving fatalities. In fact, in 2015 alone, the state recorded more than 1,300 deaths caused by reckless drivers. Despite the government’s aggressive efforts to keep these cases down, Texas remains the worst state in the country for alcohol-involved car crashes.
If you have been involved in a car accident with a hit-and-run or reckless driver, the first thing you need to do is call the police. Once the investigation is completed, you can file a lawsuit against the suspected driver. A successful case could help you cover your medical expenses and compensate for your emotional and physical suffering. Speak with your personal injury lawyer to know more about your rights to fair compensation.
