A man has died and a woman has been seriously injured after a hit-and-run at El Buho Bar in southeast Houston.
The subject incident occurred on the southeast side of Houston at El Buho Bar off Fuqua Street near Interstate 45, at around 2 a.m. Officials with the Houston Police Department’s Vehicular Crimes Division state that a black pickup truck was speeding through the bar parking lot when it struck a couple walking by.
The man, 32, succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident. The woman, 27, was transported to a nearby hospital with a broken leg. She is reported to be in stable condition.
Police believe that the driver, believed to be a Hispanic male, was intoxicated at the time of the hit-and-run accident. Nearby witnesses reported that he had caused a disturbance in the parking lot prior to the incident.
