A tragic pedestrian accident unfolded in northwest Harris County on Saturday night, resulting in the death of a pedestrian after being struck by a truck. Harris County Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene after a Precinct 1 deputy constable witnessed the crash at around 9:50 p.m.
The pedestrian, crossing West Mount Houston Road without a crosswalk, was hit by a truck, propelling them about 150 feet away. A second vehicle managed to swerve and avoid the person. However, the victim was fatally injured and was pronounced dead at the scene.
