Woman fatally struck by vehicle after jumping from moving car in NW Harris Co

Harris County Sheriff’s Office responded to an auto-pedestrian incident at the 8700 block of Fairbanks N Houston, where initial reports suggest a female jumped from a moving vehicle and was subsequently struck by another vehicle.

According to Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzales, preliminary investigations suggest a tragic sequence of events involving a 25-year-old female and her boyfriend. The couple had reportedly been engaged in an argument throughout the night, punctuated by intermittent periods of calm. Allegedly, the female made several suicidal remarks before leaving her residence and walking along the roadway. Her boyfriend subsequently picked her up in his vehicle intending to return her home.

However, during the journey, she abruptly jumped out of the car while on the southbound lanes of Fairbanks. After stopping the vehicle and rushing to check on her, both the boyfriend and a witness who stopped to assist saw her get up and run into the northbound lanes, where she was tragically struck by another vehicle. A nurse, also a witness, immediately began CPR on the injured woman until emergency services arrived. Despite efforts, she was pronounced deceased upon arrival at the hospital.
