HOUSTON (KIAH) — A man died in a deadly crash that happened around 1:35 a.m. Friday morning in an east Houston neighborhood.
Houston police say a witness saw a man trying to cross the road eastbound on a skateboard in the 200 block of Norwood Street when he was hit by a possible gray sedan going northbound.
The driver didn’t stop to render aid, and police are still searching for that car.
The skateboarder was with a friend who called 911. But the skateboarder was later declared dead at the scene.
Officers were able to get some surveillance video from a nearby building they hope will help them catch the driver who hit the skateboarder.
Anyone with information on the wanted vehicle or driver is urged to contact the HPD Hit and Run Unit at 713-247-4072 or speak anonymously with Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
