The suspect charged in a deadly crash was identified as a man with multiple prior DWIs, according to court documents.
HOUSTON – A little boy on the way to the store with his family in Texas was violently killed over the weekend when a man ran him over three times, according to authorities.
An unnamed witness said the driver tried to flee the scene, but people who were in the area stopped him and held him until police arrived. “The grandfather, out of panic, he kept saying, ‘My grandson, my grandson,’ and then the driver was not in his senses, so he backs up on him again,” the unnamed man said. “He ran over once and back on to him.”
Court documents identified the suspect as 52-year-old Pedro Alberto Hernandez and showed he has prior DWI offenses in three different counties dating back to July 2015.Teare said the Harris County District Attorney’s Office was one of the first in the state to attach a felony charge to a DWI offense. That’s one of the ways they are trying to crack down on the issue.
