Corpus Christi, TX — July 20, 2024, Carlos Garza was injured following a hit-and-run accident at around 10:50 p.m. along Old Brownsville Road.
Authorities said in preliminary statements that the incident happened in the area of Old Brownsville Road and Navigation Boulevard.
According to officials, 43-year-old Carlos A. Garza was in a Toyota Corolla going eastbound on Old Brownsville. While crossing Navigation, it appears a southbound blue Chrysler 300 ran the light and crashed into Garza’s vehicle. As a result, Garza was seriously injured.

Details suggest the Chrysler driver fled the scene on foot, which presumably means authorities took possession of the abandoned car. With it in their possession, were they able to identify the driver? With the exception of stolen vehicles, it’s usually just a matter of time before they can track down a runaway driver who left behind their vehicle or the vehicle of someone who knows the suspect. Hopefully that’s what happened here so authorities can both hold that person accountable and find out why they ran, as it’s usually due to something like warrants, drugs, or drunk driving. It remains to be seen, though, whether or not investigations have made that kind of progress.
