Sgt. David Rose with the Houston Police Department said they were told by the driver of a red sedan that he was taking the exit ramp to Westpark Drive when he hit a man he said was running across the lane of traffic.
โAccording to his statement, the pedestrian was thrown onto the lane on the service road and then was struck again by a white vehicle, maybe a SUV that left the scene around that time,โ Rose said.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police are investigating, but said there is no video evidence available and it appears the man in the red sedan was the only person to witness the accident.
โWe do not have a lot of road evidence in this case, the road is actually being resurfaced and so we are trying to piece together what exactly happened,โ Rose said.
Authorities are urging anyone who witnessed the incident to call HPD and give them a statement.
