Woman killed in hit-and-run near Bush Intercontinental Airport
HOUSTON, TX – A woman died while on foot after two vehicles struck her early Sunday near Will Clayton Parkway, reports Click2Houston.
Reports indicate the crash happened around 1:30 a.m. near Bush Intercontinental Airport.
Officers responded to the 6500 block of Will Clayton Parkway after receiving information about a person in the road. When police arrived, they found an adult woman who had suffered fatal injuries.
