Man hit and killed after falling out of car on I-45 Pierce Elevated near downtown

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Police are investigating after a man was hit and killed on the Pierce Elevated on I-45 early Friday morning near downtown Houston, police say.

Officers first told us this may have started with an argument between two men inside of a car, but they’re still investigating the circumstances.

The men, who are in their 20s, were heading southbound on the freeway, when police say one of them fell out of the car. He was then hit by another driver, who did stop.

Police told ABC13 a good Samaritan performed CPR on the victim, but he died at the scene.

There’s no word whether charges will be filed.
