Houston, TX (March 28, 2024) - A crash in the Houston area resulted in the death of a pedestrian on Wednesday morning, March 27. The deadly crash was reported early that morning at around 7:30 a.m. at the corner of Westheimer Road and Sage Road.

The victim was later transported to a hospital by ambulance for treatment of critical injuries. They were later pronounced dead.
The driver involved initially left the scene but returned and identified themselves to authorities. No further information on the deadly crash is currently available. An ongoing investigation into the cause of the crash is being managed by local law enforcement officials.
We would like to extend our deepest condolences to the family of the deceased victim at this time.
