Otilia Corona Fatally Struck in Houston Hit-and-Run, HPD Says

HOUSTON, TX, (August 07, 2026) – A woman died after being struck by a vehicle in a hit-and-run crash while crossing a Houston street, according to the Houston Police Department.

Otilia Corona was crossing Collingsworth Street at Maury Street shortly before 10 a.m. Aug. 7 when she was struck by a vehicle. The collision occurred while Corona was outside of a designated crosswalk.

Following the crash, the vehicle fled the scene, police said.

The suspect vehicle is believed to be dark-colored. A nearby Flock safety camera may have captured the vehicle or its license plate, according to HPD.

The Houston Police Department is investigating the fatal hit-and-run and is seeking information that could help identify the vehicle and driver involved.

Anyone with information about the crash is asked to contact the Houston Police Department.


FATAL ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

Leaving the scene of an accident is a crime, and statistics indicate that more than one hit-and-run crash occurs every minute on U.S. roads.

Candice Bond, an experienced hit-and-run accident attorney, said an independent investigation should be conducted promptly in these cases to protect the rights of a victim.

“Having the proper resources is extremely important to investigate a hit-and-run accident case and prove negligence,” said Bond, a Managing Partner of Bond Legal.

Bond said investigators may examine road conditions, visibility, and lighting as possible contributing factors in a hit-and-run crash.

These investigative procedures can be important for families who have lost a loved one in a hit-and-run accident and are seeking justice and monetary compensation.


WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the investigation, the family of a victim could pursue a wrongful death claim. Family members of wrongful death victims may seek damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident such as this.

“The stress and sorrow can be extremely overwhelming after losing a loved one in an accident,” Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal, said.

“We understand just what families must go through, and having their rights protected is vital. A wrongful death lawyer will stay updated on the official investigation and help ensure that their legal rights and best interests are protected.”
