Investigators believe the driver who hit the woman was possibly distracted, watching the end of a police chase involving Pct. 1 deputies and a theft suspect.
A woman is dead after she was hit and killed by a driver near the scene of the end of a police chase on Houston's westside.
According to Harris County Pct. 1, a truck owner reported his tailgate stolen before 5 a.m. Tuesday in the 900 block of Omar Street in the Woodland Heights neighborhood. When the suspect spotted the deputies, he took off, sparking a chase, Pct. 1 said. The chase lasted approximately 30 minutes before the suspect sped to more than 90 mph, ran a red light, and crashed into another driver who was making a left turn at Westheimer and Hillcoft.
