A terrible hit-and-run event involving a pedestrian death in East Austin is under investigation by authorities. Along the 4600 block of E. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, the collision happened on September 25 at roughly 9:32 p.m. Identified as 28-year-old Kameron Hartman, the pedestrian suffered fatal injuries at the scene.
Preliminary accounts state that the person was crossing the road when two different vehicles struck him. The first impact included a white SUV whose driver stayed at the scene, suffered no injuries, and is completely helping the continuous inquiry. Not too long afterward, another car also touched but did not stop, hence the site was left right away following the crash.
Local law enforcement is asking anyone with information about this event to come forward. Directly at 512-974-8111, or via the Capital Area Crime Stoppers Program by phone 512-472-8477, information can be sent to the Vehicular Homicide unit. Thank you for anonymous suggestions; these could help to pinpoint the second car engaged.
This event emphasises the ongoing dangers pedestrians run and the need of alertness and accountability among all users of the road. Officials’ search to provide closure to the impacted family and guarantee responsibility for the actions of the driver who escaped keeps the inquiry under active flux.
