HOUSTON – Two people, including a pregnant woman, were hurt in a hit-and-run crash at a north Houston intersection early Sunday, Houston police said.

According to HPD Sgt. Dunn with the vehicular crimes division, it happened at the North Freeway and Beltway 8 intersection at around 2:10 a.m.

Sgt. Dunn said witnesses told police that a Chevy Suburban, traveling eastbound on the Beltway 8 feeder, and a white Ford F-150, traveling on the North Freeway feeder road, collided at the intersection. That is when witnesses said they saw the driver of the Ford F-150 run from the crash.
