The driver of a maroon Toyota Camry was driving westbound on Attwater when he struck the victim, who was lying face down in the middle of the road. The driver stated it was dark and there were no street lights so he was unable to stop in time when he saw the victim. The driver remained at the scene, called 9-1-1, and attempted to provide aid, however the victim was pronounced dead by responding Houston Fire Department paramedics. It is unknown at this time why the victim was lying in the roadway.
