Houston, Texas (Feb 28. 2024) – A cyclist riding in the Copperwood neighborhood is dead following a series of accidents.
According to officials on the scene, the cyclist was thrown off the bike following a collision with a vehicle. The driver pulled over to offer assistance to the cyclist.
While collecting the bike from where it had landed, the cyclist was struck by a second vehicle. This vehicle did not stop to render aid and fled the scene.
The cyclist was taken to Memorial Hermann via Life Flight, where he succumbed to his injuries.
The second driver was later located when a tow truck driver alerted deputies while assisting the driver. The driver told officials he had not seen what he struck while driving.
An investigation into this incident remains ongoing at this time.
