A commercial bus heading to a casino struck and killed a pedestrian at the Gulf Freeway and Woodridge on Friday night.
The driver of the bus, who was traveling eastbound on Woodridge, told police he felt a "bump in the roadway" when making a right turn onto the southbound service road about 10:36 p.m. After pulling over, he determined he had struck a man, later identified as 55-year-old Santos Velazquez, and called police.
The driver was not speeding at the time of the incident and was not believed to be intoxicated. The accident, which remains under investigation by the Harris County District Attorney's Office, brings the number of traffic fatalities in Houston this year to 170.
