Fort Worth, TX — January 28, 2024, a pedestrian was injured following an apparent hit-and-run accident at around 9:30 p.m. along Heritage Trace Parkway.
Investigators said in preliminary statements that the accident happened along eastbound lanes of Heritage Trace at the intersection with the I-35W northbound service road.
According to officials, a pedestrian, identified only as a 44-year-old woman, was on foot at the time walking southbound across Heritage Trace Parkway. While crossing, however, a vehicle which had been going northbound made a right turn, hitting the woman. That vehicle then left the scene going eastbound.
The pedestrian hit by the vehicle reportedly sustained serious injuries in the collision. The vehicle involved was not described in initial statements. It’s unclear if authorities have since identified any suspects.

As little information as there is available right now, these situations can still be resolved if authorities work with community until someone can come forward with useful information. Finding a runaway driver is crucial for more than just their role in the accident. Generally speaking, it’s not common that drivers run just of fear of consequences for the accident itself. They’re almost always hiding something else, such as warrants, stolen vehicles, drunk driving, or other offenses. By cooperating with local residents, it’s usually just a matter of time before information comes to light that can see a dangerous driver taken off the streets and held accountable for their actions.
