Woman killed by hit-and-run pickup driver in Greenspoint

A woman has died after officials said a driver in a pickup truck hit her and then fled the scene.

The incident occurred shortly before 11 p.m. Thursday night at the 10000 block of Veterans Memorial Drive in Greenspoint where a person said to possibly be driving a dark-colored Chevrolet pickup truck struck a woman, Harris County Sheriff’s Office Lt. G. Guien said.

Responders arrived and pronounced the woman dead on the scene, but the driver was nowhere in sight, Guien said.

Investigators are hopeful that nearby surveillance footage will be able to help them piece together what happened Thursday night, Guien said.

The driver may face charges, including failure to stop and render aid, Guien said
