He is currently being charged for an accident involving death and is being held in Galveston County Jail. His bail has been set at $200,000.

The victim, Dr. Nancy Hughes, was killed early Friday morning while riding her bike along an area of the seawall when she was hit, according to Galveston police

Two unidentified people who were out to enjoy the sunrise came up to Hughes and called for help, but it was too late.

Hughes ran a family practice not far from where she was hit and killed Friday morning. She comes from a family of doctors, including a brother and father.

The staff at Dr. Hughes’ office are working to help patients while also grieving the loss of their boss and dear friend. 

About 4 ½ years ago, we became patients. We used to drive to Houston for our doctors, but once we met her we knew we were in safe hands," said Jensen. "She was just one of those doctors, one of those people that you feel like you knew forever."
