It happened sometime around midnight on Gulf Fwy outbound near Cullen Blvd. Initial details shared by Houston PD are an unidentified man and woman were in the first lanes of the outbound Gulf Fwy. Officers say at some point, a driver in an unknown vehicle hit the two on the moped and kept driving. The two were pronounced dead at the scene, but a witness came forward to police about what they saw. However, they do not have any information on the hit-and-run vehicle such as license plates or its description. According to Sgt. Rose with HPD's Vehicular Crimes Division, the impact of the crash caused the two to get thrown off the moped, where they were hit by several other vehicles after the initial crash.
At last check, police are combing the area for surveillance video and are urging anyone with information to contact HPD via
