April 15, 2024 - Houston police are investigating a fatal hit-and-run crash at 6300 Ranchester Drive about 10:45 a.m. on Saturday (April 13).

The identity of the deceased female, 64, is pending verification by the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences.

HPD Vehicular Crimes Division Sergeant M. Sudduth and Westside Patrol Division officers reported:

The female was driving a blue Nissan Quest northbound at the above address when her vehicle was struck by another vehicle, described only as being white in color. The impact caused the Nissan to cross the median and go into oncoming traffic, where it then struck (head on) a silver Toyota Camry traveling southbound. The driver of the unknown white vehicle fled the scene without stopping to render aid.

Paramedics transported the female driver of the Nissan and three persons in the Toyota to area hospitals. Doctors later pronounced the female deceased.
