In two separate crashes in the Houston area, two women were killed while trying to cross the road, HPD says

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Two women were run over and killed in separate crashes in the Houston area.

According to Houston police, the driver in one of the crashes did not stop to help.

In southeast Houston, police said a woman was walking along the feeder road in the 3500 block of the I-45 Gulf Freeway when she was struck and killed.

The driver who hit her continued driving, HPD said.

Detectives initially did not have a description of a suspect vehicle because they said they had no video footage and no witnesses had come forward.

In northwest Houston, a woman was trying to cross Hempstead Road near Permimeter Park Drive when she was run over and killed, according to HPD.

Police said the driver, who showed no signs of intoxication, remained at the scene and is cooperating with police.
