One woman lost her life and several others sustained injuries when a driver crashed his vehicle into a crowd in the parking lot of a suburban Houston restaurant after a reported fight on early Thursday, police said.
Investigators believe the driver, who is about 20 years old, struck the group of people intentionally, Harris County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Jason Brown said. They were gathered outside Pinchy’s Tex-Mex Restaurant in Katy at around 1 a.m. when they were hit by the driver. One woman, believed to be about 35, succumbed to her injuries at a hospital. Another person received serious injured while many other people sustained minor injuries, Brown said.
The driver initially escaped from the scene but returned to the parking lot, where police arrested him, Brown said. A fight inside the restaurant had spilled out into the parking lot before the group was hit. Investigators were trying to find out the relationship of the driver with the people who were struck, Brown said.
Authorities continue to investigate the crash.
