Hit-and-Run Driver Attempts to Comfort Victim Prior to Fleeing
At about 7 a.m. on September 17, 2022, a driver was driving in the 12900 block of Kleberg Road when he crashed into a bicyclist, who was headed south. After hitting the biker with his white 2017 Chevy Trax, the driver allegedly stopped and called 911. Then, he put a pillow under the bicyclist’s head before leaving the accident scene. The bicyclist passed away.
