A woman in her early 20s was killed Sunday night after an SUV struck her as she rode her bicycle to work at a convenience store in Katy, according to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.
The crash happened around 10 p.m. near 4100 Pitts Road. An off-duty sheriff’s deputy later spotted an SUV with heavy damage to its front end in a gas station parking lot. The driver told the deputy she had hit something in the road.
The deputy found the woman in the roadway as responding deputies arrived. Deputies performed CPR, but EMS pronounced her dead at the scene.
The driver left the gas station in another vehicle. Deputies found her at a nearby residence and took her into custody. She was charged with failure to stop and render aid and was cooperating with investigators, the sheriff’s office said. Deputies reported no signs of intoxication.
Investigators are also looking into the person who picked up the driver to determine whether that person may face charges.
