HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Authorities say two women were hit and killed by a car after they got into a fight and ended up on the road in Houston’s Sunnyside neighborhood.
The Houston Police Department said the deadly crash happened at about 3:30 a.m. on Wednesday in the 8900 block of Cullen Boulevard, in front of a food mart.
Police said the two women started fighting and ended up on the street. That’s when HPD says they were hit by a car, and that driver took off.
“They were rolling around on the ground, ” HPD Sgt. David Rose said at the scene. “Some people saw them, pulled over, tried to call the police, but unfortunately, there was a red sedan driving potentially the speed limit in lane one that ran them both over and caused fatal injuries, and that sedan proceeded to continue down the street without stopping and rendering aid.”
Rose said they’re now looking at surveillance video to figure out what happened and to try to find the driver of that vehicle.
“As of this time, we do have some surveillance of that vehicle, but we are going to be looking for more evidence and trying to find that vehicle and that person because it is a crime to leave the scene of a crash where people are seriously injured or dead,” the sergeant said. “It is a felony, so the hit-and-run division is going to be following up.”
Police said they’re also working to identify the victims.
