Julyssa Roaro's little brother tells ABC13 that he witnessed the moment a driver hit his sister and then drove off near Benjamin Davis High School.
A 17-year-old has been charged for allegedly driving off after hitting a woman walking near Benjamin Davis High School on Monday, according to Harris County Precinct 4.
Roaro's family said she has a leg injury where the car hit her, recovering from broken bones in her face, and brain trauma. Ivan Roaro, a sophomore at the school, said he drops his sister off every morning across the street from the school. Many students reportedly leave their cars in the neighborhood instead of on campus. He said everything was normal until they both saw a driver coming who did not slow down.
Constable Mark Herman said the vehicle drove off, but deputies later found the possible suspect near Spears-Gears Road.
