Hwy 146 at 2nd Avenue

Texas City, Texas

Report from Houston Chronicle:

Police arrested a 76-year-old Texas City man Friday in the hit-and-run death of a bicyclist whose body was dragged for a city block.

Rene Sanchez Sanchez was charged with failure to report an accident and render assistance, a second-degree felony, in the death of Richard Alan Reazin Jr., 49, Texas City police Capt. Brian Goetschius said.

Investigators are examining a video from a surveillence camera that shows Sanchez's red 2007 Dodge Ram 3500 pickup slamming into Reazin at the intersection of Second Avenue South and 35th Street about 6 p.m. Friday.

Sanchez faced a stop sign at the intersection but Reazin did not, Goetschius said.

Sanchez was traveling west on Second Avenue South and Reazin north on 35th Street, but investigators were still trying to determine whether Sanchez stopped at the intersection.

Evidence shows that Reazin and his bicycle were stuck to the front of the pickup and he was dragged for a full block with parts of his body in contact with the pavement, Goetschius said.

The body and bicycle either fell off or were removed from the front of the pickup in the parking lot of a bar a block from the intersection, he said.

Both men live within three blocks of the intersection at Second and 35th and police believe Reazin was on his way home.

Police identified the truck from the video and interviewed Sanchez at home before taking him to the police station for an additional interview.

He was arrested and booked into the Texas City Jail at 12:30 p.m.

If convicted, he faces from two to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000. His bail was set at $50,000.

Clay Road at Kinloch Drive

Houston, Texas

Report from FOX 26 Houston:

A 12-year-old boy has died after deputies say his bicycle was struck by a pickup truck in northwest Harris County.

Deputies arrived around 8 p.m. Thursday to find the boy's body on Clay Road near Kinloch Drive. He was pronounced dead at the accident site.

The boy was trying to ride his bicycle across Clay Road when deputies say he moved in front of two vehicles. The driver of a car in the right lane slammed on the brakes and avoided crashing into the bicycle, but deputies say the driver of a truck in the left lane was not able to stop the vehicle in time and the boy was knocked off the bicycle.

The impact of the crash sent the boy across the median and he landed on the other side of Clay Road. The bicycle was found by deputies pinned below the truck.

Deputies say the driver of the truck was not speeding and was not impaired, so no charges are expected to filed in the boy's death.
