Overview
- Deputies with the Harris County Sheriff’s Office responded to the southbound North Freeway near Cypress Oaks Drive after reports around 3 a.m. Tuesday of a person struck in the roadway.
- Investigators believe several vehicles hit the pedestrian, and they say none of the involved drivers stayed at the scene.
- EMS pronounced the victim dead at the scene, and authorities have not identified the person.
- Houston TranStar reported that lanes closed for several hours during the investigation have since reopened for southbound traffic.
- Deputies noted the person may have been unhoused, which is unconfirmed, and early-morning freeway crashes can be hard to solve because there are few witnesses and damage may be spread across multiple vehicles.
