Texas Southern University Student Dies in Houston Hit-And-Run Crash
Posted on Oct 29, 2011
Students at Texas Southern University are mourning the death of a law student from the Thurgood Marshall School of Law who was killed in a hit-and-run car accident in Houston last week.
According to the Houston Chronicle, 27-year-old Halley Shaw of Dallas was driving with a classmate and a recent law school graduate on Tuesday night when a man attempting to evade the police sped through a red light and slammed into their vehicle.
The Houston Police Department explained that their officers had stopped a suspicious vehicle at the intersection of Hamilton and Isabella when the driver sped from the scene of the traffic stop and through a red light. The collision that followed injured two people in the car and killed Shaw at the scene. The two injury victims were transported to Memorial Hermann Hospital, where one person remains in critical condition.
Days later, a man turned himself in for the crime at one of the Harris County Constable's Offices in connection with the hit-and-run. He has yet to be charged with any crimes related to the fatal Houston car accident, and police ask that anyone with more information on the crash contact them immediately.
The Houston car accident attorneys at Ransansky Law Firm send their condolences to the families of those affected by the crash and wish full recoveries to the injury victims still hospitalized.
