HOUSTON — A pedestrian died late Monday after being hit by a vehicle along West Alabama Street, according to Houston police.
Sgt. Kevin Bui with the Houston Police Department’s Vehicular Crimes Division said officers responded just before 11:30 p.m. to the intersection of West Alabama and Sage Road for a crash involving a black Chevrolet Tahoe and a male pedestrian.
Investigators have not determined whether the pedestrian was in a marked crosswalk or farther east of the intersection at the time of the collision. The driver, described as a man in his late 50s, stayed at the scene and cooperated with officers. Field sobriety tests showed no signs of impairment, police said.
The pedestrian, an adult male in his mid‑60s, was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. His identity has not yet been released.
Bui said the driver was working in a rideshare capacity at the time and was headed to a call. Police do not believe there were any passengers in the vehicle during the crash.
The Harris County District Attorney’s Office is assisting with the investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact HPD’s Vehicular Crimes Division at 713‑247‑4072
