KILLEEN, TX, (May 12, 2026) – A pedestrian was hospitalized Tuesday afternoon following a crash in Killeen that resulted in criminal charges against a local woman, according to police.
Authorities said 42-year-old Shannon Finch was driving a sedan eastbound on Marlboro Drive at approximately 1:22 p.m. when she allegedly failed to control the vehicle’s speed and crashed into a parked pickup truck towing a trailer.
Investigators said the impact caused the pickup truck to strike a pedestrian who had been standing behind it at the time of the collision. The victim, whose identity has not been released, suffered unspecified injuries and was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment.
Police said Finch fled the scene without stopping to render aid but was located a short distance away shortly afterward. Finch, a Killeen resident, was charged with collision involving injury and booked into the Bell County Jail.
The incident remains under investigation.
