A man was killed after being hit by another motorist who was potentially drunk, Houston police said.
The crash happened around 11:18 p.m. Saturday at the intersection of West Southmore Boulevard and Allen Genoa in southeast Houston.
The driver of a four-door silver car turned left to go west on Southmore Boulevard when the male driver was struck by a black truck traveling northbound on Allen Genoa, Houston police said.
The victim in the four-door silver vehicle failed to yield to the right-of-way when the car was struck, Houston police said.
The driver of the black pickup truck got out of his truck and attempted to flee the scene, police said. Good Samaritans chased after the suspect and held him down until Pasadena police arrived.
Police said he was showing signs of intoxication at the scene.
The Houston Police Department is taking over the investigation to determine the exact cause of the crash and to determine if the suspect was in fact intoxicated.
