Lt. Brandon Patin with the Tomball Police Department said the vehicle was traveling northbound when the driver struck a man who was in the road. The vehicle fled the scene before police arrived, Patin said.
According to Patin, they found a heavily damaged shopping cart, which leads police to believe the vehicle in question has heavy front-end damage.
Police believe the shopping cart belonged to the victim. They are still working to determine if the man was crossing the road or just walking in it, Patin said.
Investigators are working to get surveillance video of the area in order to learn more details and possibly identify the vehicle that hit the man.
