In Houston, Texas, the police are searching for the driver who allegedly ran over a homeless husband and wife sleeping under an overpass near Beechnut and the West Sam Houston Tollway.

According to AJC News, the couple stated to be in their 60s had recently lost their home when the driver of a vehicle allegedly lost control and went across a median and then onto an embankment where the couple had been sleeping. Police stated the couple who were found hugging each other were still under the vehicle when the driver fled from the scene.

Police contend the driver of the vehicle who killed the couple had been fleeing from another accident nearby. The person involved in the first accident told authorities the driver hit his car in the rear, smelled as if he had been drinking alcohol and then tried to flee from the scene. The victim chased the man and begged the man whose vehicle was hit begged him not to call the police. He then left.

The innocent couple were not the only victims. The couple’s two dogs are now homeless and are in need of help immediately.

“These were their dogs, their companions. They are also now homeless. They didn’t want to leave their deceased owners 💔 but BARC came for them

Male and female duo. Both pit mixes. Please share to get them out,” animal advocate Laura Jean posted publicly on her Facebook page.
