Driver flees on foot from scene of fatal car accident
A 23-year-old man was killed when his car was struck by a Chevy Silverado truck traveling the wrong direction on U.S. Highway 290. The driver of the Silverado fled the scene of the accident on foot. The victim was Gilberto Huerta of Conroe, Texas. He and two passengers were taken to a nearby hospital where Huerta later died of his injuries. The two passengers are both in stable condition.
At a minimum, says Austin police Sergeant Richard Stresing, the driver of the Silverado will face charges of failure to stop and render aid, which is a felony in Texas. Because the driver left his vehicle at the scene, police feel confident that they have enough information to track him down.
