Houston police are investigating a fatal auto-pedestrian crash at 4498 Gessner Road that occurred about 5:55 a.m. today (April 14).

The identity of the male victim is pending verification by the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences.

HPD Vehicular Crimes Division Sergeant L. Ross and Officer R. Saenz reported:

The driver of a blue Ford F-150 pickup truck was traveling westbound on Clay Road and approaching the intersection at Gessner Road.  The victim crossed Clay at the Gessner crosswalk and was struck by the vehicle.  The victim was pronounced deceased at the scene.
