Authorities say Chinwe Keisha Egbo, 22, was riding to work when she was struck on Pitts Road and left fatally injured.
KATY, TX — A 61-year-old woman has been charged with failure to stop and render aid after authorities say her vehicle struck and killed a 22-year-old woman who was riding a bicycle to work in the Katy area of Harris County.
Chinwe Keisha Egbo was riding southbound in the 4100 block of Pitts Road near Clay Road at about 10 p.m. Nov. 8 when she was struck by a vehicle driven by Trianna Denise Walker, according to preliminary findings released by the Harris County Sheriff’s Office. Egbo suffered fatal injuries. Walker was later arrested and charged after investigators said she left a nearby gas station while deputies were responding to the crash. The sheriff’s office said the investigation remains open.
Authorities said an off-duty Harris County sheriff’s deputy was at a nearby gas station when he noticed a vehicle with heavy front-end damage. The driver told the deputy she had struck something in the roadway, according to the sheriff’s office and local news reports. The deputy went to Pitts Road to investigate and found Egbo in the roadway as other deputies and emergency crews arrived.
Deputies began CPR before emergency medical personnel arrived, but Egbo was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators said she had been riding her bicycle to work at the convenience store at the gas station. Sheriff’s officials identified Egbo after initial reports described the victim only as a woman in her early 20s.
When the off-duty deputy returned to the gas station after finding Egbo, Walker was no longer there, authorities said. Investigators said she had left her damaged vehicle behind and departed in another vehicle. Deputies later located Walker at a nearby residence and took her into custody. The sheriff’s office said she was cooperating with investigators and that deputies reported no signs of intoxication.
Walker was charged Nov. 9 with failure to stop and render aid in a collision involving death. A criminal charge is an accusation, and Walker has not been convicted in connection with the case. Local reporting based on Harris County District Court records said her bond was set at $200,000 and that the case was filed in the 337th District Court.
Court-related reporting also said conditions placed on Walker include restrictions on driving without court permission and an order barring contact with Egbo’s family. Authorities have not publicly announced a finding that explains what caused the initial collision, and the sheriff’s office has described its findings as preliminary.
Investigators have also examined the circumstances surrounding Walker’s departure from the gas station. The sheriff’s office said another person gave her a ride after the crash, and investigators were looking into whether that person could face charges. That person had not been publicly identified in the reports reviewed, and authorities had not announced an additional arrest.
The crash occurred along Pitts Road near Clay Road in the Katy area. Investigators said Egbo and the vehicle were both traveling southbound before the collision. More detailed findings about the vehicle’s movement and the events immediately before impact have not been publicly released by the sheriff’s office.
The Harris County Sheriff’s Office Vehicular Crimes Division continues to investigate the fatal crash. No additional charges connected to the investigation had been publicly announced as of the latest reports reviewed.
