Houston, TX — August 6, 2023, James Early Lauderdale was possibly injured following an alleged hit-and-run accident after midnight along Cullen Boulevard.
Houston and Harris County officials reported details showing the collision happened at approximately 12:57 a.m. at the intersection of Cullen Boulevard and South Loop 610.

According to current statements, 44-year-old James Earl Lauderdale was walking at the time and attempted to cross over Cullen. While walking across southbound lanes, authorities allege that a BMW 3 Series hit Lauderdale. That vehicle then allegedly left the scene.
Lauderdale was listed as having possible injuries, though Harris County officials say in a charging instrument that the alleged runaway driver faces a charge of failure to stop and render aid for an accident that “resulted in and that was reasonably likely to result in bodily injury to” Lauderdale.
Right now, additional details are unavailable.
