CORPUS CHRISTI, Tx — The Corpus Christi Police Department shut down the 5700 block of Weber Road near H-E-B on Holly Road after a pedestrian was struck by a vehicle Saturday night.
According to Corpus Christi police, a pedestrian was attempting to cross Weber Road around 8:36 p.m., not using a crosswalk, when a truck struck the victim.
Several witnesses and the truck's occupants stopped to render aid until medics arrived.
"When officers arrived here, they found a witness providing CPR to a pedestrian," Lieutenant with CCPD Micheal Pena said.
The pedestrian was taken to a hospital but died from his injuries.
As investigators gathered evidence, all southbound traffic on Weber Road was diverted to Carvavelle Parkway. CCPD opened all lanes of traffic on Weber Rd at approximately 10:35 p.m.
"There are no charges, and there's no indication of intoxication. An officer interviewed them [occupants of the truck], and right now, we don't have any charges," said Lt. Pena.
Police did not release any other information regarding the pedestrian who was fatally struck. The identity of the pedestrian will be released once the Nueces County Medical Examiner's Officer conducts an autopsy.
