Woman struck and killed after she stepped out of her car to help sick passenger (Houston, TX)

A Houston woman lost her life on the Katy Freeway after she stopped to check on her sick friend who was sitting in the backseat.

At around 3 am, police actively responded to the inbound lanes of the Katy Freeway near Kirkwood and N. Dairy Ashford on reports of a pedestrian crash. The preliminary reports showed that the woman exited her car to help her friend when another car came along and crashed into the back end of her car. The impact of the crash sent the woman flying in the air.

The woman succumbed to her injuries on the scene and the passenger was transported to the hospital where she is listed in stable condition. The reports also revealed that the driver who was at fault got tested for DWI after he admitted to drinking. The man remained unharmed and if he is found to be intoxicated, will face intoxicated manslaughter charges. No charges have been issued at this time.

The incident remains under active review.
