A man in his sixties was found dead on Houston's southside early Friday morning after being struck by a vehicle that failed to stop and render aid, according to authorities with the Houston Police Department (HPD). The 67-year-old victim was located in the eastbound lanes of Almeda Genoa near Aldenwale Lane.
The police investigation has also uncovered a second separate incident involving a white SUV. According to officials, the vehicle crashed nearby after possibly colliding with another car on West Fuqua near a McDonald's restaurant and fled the scene before crashing about an hour prior to the discovery of the victim in the road.
HPD said that no driver was present at the crash site, and no arrests have been made so far. The police are still working to gather more information, but officials noted that there were no witnesses or surveillance footage available to aid their investigation.
The police are currently investigating two separate hit-and-run incidents involving a vehicle that failed to stop and assist the victim, as well as another driver who was involved in an unrelated incident with a white SUV. The motive behind these incidents remains unclear at this time.

It's just crazy how some people are so desperate they'd hit and run, leaving others to suffer 
. Like, what even is the point of driving around if you're not gonna follow traffic rules? 
The police need more resources to deal with these cases, but at least there's some surveillance footage on the second incident - that's a start 
. But seriously, can we please focus on road safety and education instead of just punishing the drivers who break the law? 
It'd make everyone safer in the long run 
. I feel bad for the victim's family, they must be losing their minds right now 
. And it's even more frustrating that there are no witnesses or surveillance footage to help the police catch whoever did this... it's like they're just disappearing into thin air 
.
. This whole thing is just so messed up... I hope the police can find out who did this and bring them to justice soon 
.
. First, you're driving recklessly, not stopping for someone who needs help, and then you leave the scene like nothing happened 
. These drivers need to take responsibility for their actions and face the consequences 
But you know what really got me thinking? It's crazy how quickly the police are working to gather more info and get those involved brought to justice! I mean, they're still trying to figure out the motive and stuff, but at least they're on it 
. And can you believe that the white SUV driver is like, "Oh no, I'll just leave the scene and hope for the best"... 
like that's ever gonna end well for them! Anyway, my heart goes out to the victim's family, but let's keep our thoughts positive and focus on the fact that justice will be served eventually 
meanwhile we gotta live w/ no witnesses and no surveillance footage so good luck figuring out who's responsible 
anyway, it's wild how ppl can just leave a guy 2 die on the side of the road, what kinda world r we livin in? 
and u got this white SUV that's just chillin' around 
what's goin on in houston man?! two people lost their lives due to some reckless drivers not carin about nobody! 
these incidents are just examples of how we need to look out for each other on the road, y'know? drive safe, be aware, and if you see somethin don't keep movin... it's just not worth it. 
. It's so frustrating when people just leave others stranded on the road - it's like they're more worried about getting their car fixed than about someone's life 
what's going on with all these hit-and-runs in Houston? first you got this guy in his 60s just minding his own business and then BAM! some car hits him and leaves the scene... that's so reckless 
. And now there's two separate incidents, which means probably 2 more families are dealing with this kind of pain 
. I hope they catch the people responsible soon and make sure they face some serious consequences for their actions
