Now, HPD says that story was false.A man accused of causing a hit-and-run crash that killed a postal worker in north Houston lied about his vehicle being stolen, according to police.
Just before 3 p.m. Saturday, Houston police said 29-year-old U.S. Postal Service employee Robert Jones was on his normal route in the 8100 block of Bauman Road when an SUV tried to go around his postal truck and another car. Meanwhile, the suspect's car, which police described as a 2011 white Ford Expedition, appears to slow down before driving off.ABC13 tracked down the owner of the white SUV, later identified as Gutierrez. He told us that the vehicle seen in the surveillance video was his Ford Expedition, but he wasn't the one driving it.
