A man was struck from behind by an unknown black SUV or sedan in the 6400 block of Liberty Road at about 1 a.m. on Aug. 26, and the driver never stopped. Houston Police say the man suffered multiple injuries in the crash, and investigators are still trying to track down who was behind the wheel.
According to a post from Houston Police
, investigators need the public's help identifying the driver of the vehicle involved. The department has not released a description of the driver, nor has it clarified whether the vehicle was in fact an SUV or a sedan, leaving that detail unresolved as the case continues.
What Investigators Are Asking For
Houston Police are directing anyone with information to come forward through two channels: the HPD Hit and Run Unit at 713-247-4065, or Crime Stoppers via the department's tip account, @CrimeStopHOU. The call for tips was shared alongside the department's account of the crash, which remains the only public account of what happened on Liberty Road that night.
Beyond the time, location, and the fact that the victim suffered multiple injuries, few other details about the case have been made public. The man's identity has not been released, and there has been no update on his condition since police first sought information.
A Familiar Pattern for Houston Hit-and-Run Cases
Houston Police routinely turn to public tips to crack hit-and-run cases where a driver flees before officers arrive. In one earlier case handled by the department's Hit and Run Unit, a 2020 news release from the City of Houston described investigators searching for the driver of an SUV after a victim struck in a separate incident was later pronounced deceased, underscoring how critical early tips can be in these investigations.
No such outcome has been reported in the Liberty Road case, and the two incidents are otherwise unconnected. Still, the pattern illustrates why Houston Police continue to lean on Crime Stoppers and direct tip lines whenever a driver leaves the scene without stopping.
For now, the 6400 block of Liberty Road case remains open, with investigators hoping someone who saw the black SUV or sedan — or knows who was driving it — will come forward.
