HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — The Houston Police Department says a pedestrian was hit and killed by a driver in the Galleria area on Monday night.

According to police, the incident happened at about 11:30 p.m. at West Alabama Street near Sage Road.

HPD said a rideshare driver was on their way to pick someone up when they hit a man in his 60s. The pedestrian was taken to the hospital, where he died, police added.

Bui said no signs of impairment were found on the driver, but an investigation is ongoing.
