According to Precinct 4 Captain James Blackledge, the man was walking on the inside shoulder of the feeder road and ran in front of the deputy constable’s patrol vehicle. The man died at the scene.
“Rightfully, shaken up,” Blackledge said. “What it looks like, is the guy ran out in front of him, so he’s visibly shaken. He’s very upset, just as I would hope any other person should be or would be.” Blackledge said it was still dark when the crash occurred and there wasn’t much visibility in the area.When asked about beer that was spilled across the area, Blackledge answered, “It appears that he was probably carrying a case or more of beer across the road when he ran across.”Drivers are urged to find an alternate route as delays are expected.Constables are investigating an auto pedestrian crash in the east bound feeder of the North Sam Houston Pkwy E / E Hardy Road before the Waffle House.
