| Houston police have learned a woman critically injured in a hit-and-run crash at 8100 Howard Drive about 7:15 p.m. on September 16, 2020 has died.
The identity of the victim, 51, is pending notification to family members by the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences.
The suspect, Bobby Ray Ruth (b/m, 24), was arrested a short time after the crash and charged with failure to stop and render aid in the 262nd State District Court. A booking photo of Ruth is attached to this news release.
HPD Vehicular Crimes Division Sergeant F. Briones and N. Luu reported:
The victim, a pedestrian, was walking in a crosswalk at the above address when she was struck by a silver Chevrolet Impala traveling eastbound. The male driver – who failed to yield the right of way to a pedestrian – did not stop to render aid and instead parked his vehicle further up the street. He was later found by patrol officers, was questioned and subsequently charged in the crash.
Paramedics transported the woman to an area hospital in critical condition. Doctors pronounced her deceased on Saturday (Jan. 23).
