Police are looking for a hit-and-run driver who struck and killed a man in the parking lot of the Club Olympus night club in the 9100 block of Winkler this morning. The accident happened around 5:30am this morning. Police say a man was driving erratically in the club’s parking lot: the man had previously been inside the club, possibly  drinking alcohol. He struck a man who was standing in the parking lot then crashed into an SUV before fleeing. The man was driving a full-size black-colored Dodge pickup truck with a lift kit and oversize off road tires. The Dodge truck will be damaged to the left front side. The suspect driver is a clean shaven Latino man in his mid-30’s. Anyone with information on the hit-and-run driver or his Dodge pickup should call HPD or Crime Stoppers.

The driver of a white-colored Honda Accord hit and killed a pedestrian this morning around 2:15am and kept on driving. The victim is a Hispanic male in his 40’s and the accident happened on West Fuqua in southwest Houston. According to a witness the Honda Accord swerved and hit the man, who was apparently standing in the street, but then kept going. The witness said the driver stopped at a stop sign, got out of this car and checked his vehicle for damage. The witness made eye contact with the driver and suggested the driver go back to the accident scene since someone had been struck, however the driver got back in his vehicle and left. The witness said the driver did not appear to be drunk. Police are on the lookout for a white Honda Accord that has damage to the front passenger side, possibly damage to the window also. A female driver attempted to chase the Accord to get a license plate number – police would like to speak with that lady also. Channel 13’s story is here.
