Horrendous Pedestrian Crash on Synott Road Claims a Life [Houston, TX]

Houston, TX (November 12, 2024) On Monday evening, a 91-year-old man was killed after a terrifying pedestrian crash on Synott Road.

According to the Houston Police Department (HPD), the fatal incident happened around 6 p.m. in the 6600 block of Synott Road.

Reports say that a vehicle struck and killed the 91-year-old pedestrian Monday evening in Houston’s Alief neighborhood.

Authorities say that the northbound driver, operating an orange Kia Rio, did not see the man due to poor lighting conditions. The man, who was not using a crosswalk, attempted to cross the northbound lanes when the collision happened.

The 68-year-old driver and their passenger stayed at the scene, where paramedics from the Houston Fire Department later pronounced the man dead. Police confirmed the driver showed no signs of impairment and released them after questioning.

Residents identified the victim as someone who frequently walked to a nearby Walgreens to pick up medication. He reportedly lived at Golden Bamboo Village III, located near the crash site. The investigation remains ongoing.
