Woman Riding Bicycle To Work Killed In Hit-And-Run Crash In Katy

A woman in her early 20s was killed in a hit-and-run crash while riding her bicycle to work in Katy, Texas, Sunday night. The suspected driver was later located and taken into custody.

On November 8, 2026, at approximately 9:59 p.m., the woman was riding her bicycle to a convenience store where she worked when she was struck by an SUV in the 4100 block of Pitts.

According to Harris County Sheriff’s Deputy Anderson, an off-duty sheriff’s deputy spotted an SUV with extensive front-end damage parked at a nearby gas station.

When the deputy approached the driver, she reportedly stated that she had struck something in the roadway.

The off-duty deputy subsequently located the injured bicyclist lying in the road as additional deputies arrived.

Deputies immediately began performing CPR in an attempt to save the woman’s life. Emergency medical personnel later pronounced her deceased at the scene.

Investigators said the SUV driver left the gas station in another vehicle before deputies could take her into custody.

Authorities later located the woman at a nearby residence and arrested her.

The driver was charged with failure to stop and render aid and was reportedly cooperating with investigators.

Deputies stated that they observed no signs of intoxication.

Investigators are also looking into the individual who picked up the driver from the gas station to determine whether additional charges may be appropriate.

The victim’s identity was not immediately released.

The Harris County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate the fatal collision.
