1 Dead in Channelview Pedestrian Accident on 16400 Woodrow Street
CHANNELVIEW, TX (December 10, 2024) – Monday afternoon, a brutal pedestrian crash on 16400 Woodrow Street killed 1.
Reports said that the incident occurred at about 2:14 p.m. in the 16400 block of Woodrow Street.
A 2-year-old girl was transported to the hospital with CPR in progress but was pronounced dead upon arrival.
Eric Albers from the Harris County Sheriff’s Office Vehicular Crimes Division said the child’s father discovered her injured outside their home and flagged down a neighbor arriving in a shared driveway.
Initially, investigators believed the neighbor in a red SUV had struck the child, but further investigation determined this was not the case. It remains unclear who hit the girl.
The family resides on a property with three or four townhomes, and all vehicles belonging to the residents have been accounted for. Authorities believe the driver who struck the child fled the scene.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the sheriff’s office at 713-221-6000.
