HOUSTON — Crash investigators are at the scene of a deadly wreck near Webster.
Houston Police tell KHOU 11 News that a driver hit a worker who was part of a utility crew on Galveston Road near Bay Star Boulevard at around 10:40 p.m. Monday.
The worker died at the scene. Police say the driver drove down the street after hitting the worker, but then came back to where the crash happened.
Investigators say the driver was not intoxicated, and he is not facing any charges at this time.
According to a spokesperson for the police department, a private company was working to move a large piece of equipment and utility crews were out trying to make sure the oversize load would fit under power lines.
