David Rose with HPD\u2019s Vehicular Crimes Division said they received reports from a witness that he saw the man walking on the shoulder of the main lanes of the highway. The witness tried to call police, but saw the man enter the southbound lanes of the highway. He was then struck by a vehicle and thrown into another lane where he was hit by a Toyota Tundra. He was pronounced dead at the scene.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">The original vehicle that hit the man fled the scene and police don\u2019t have a description of that vehicle. The Toyota that struck the man stopped. The family inside suffered injuries, some significant, but none were transported to a hospital.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Rose said if the driver of the first vehicle is found, they will be charged with failure to stop and render aid.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Rose said they were able to identify the man that was killed and are reaching out to his next of kin. Police aren\u2019t sure why he entered the main lanes of the highway as Rose says he doesn\u2019t believe the man was intoxicated. Rose did say the man was older and dementia could have played a role. He also says the man was not from Houston.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 nALdY copyright\">Copyright 2026 by KPRC Click2Houston &#8211; All rights reserved.<\/p>\n<p>About the Author<a class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__LinkBase-sc-1fnzlkn-9 eUojqd gMnWPT\" href=\"https:\/\/www.click2houston.com\/team\/JB2Q1RZ712JI7KLO0BEWWLE7PS\/\" title=\"View Christian Terry&#039;s full profile\" itemprop=\"url\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Christian Terry<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 gnunoy bOlrXa\">Christian Terry covered digital news in Tyler and Wichita Falls before returning to the Houston area where he grew up.
