Officials said the officer was driving on the freeway when he suddenly felt a bump so severe it caused the airbags in the cruiser to deploy.
It happened around 2 a.m. in the westbound lanes in the 7300 block of East Freeway.
We're told the officer was on duty at the time and reportedly driving to a call but not using his lights or sirens at the time. At some point, officials said the unidentified officer heard a bump, and the airbags in his patrol unit deployed. That's when the officer got out of his patrol car and noticed a pedestrian lying on the ground nearby his vehicle. MORE CRIME AND PUBLIC SAFETY
It's unclear what the pedestrian was doing, in terms of why he was crossing the middle of the freeway but was pronounced dead at the scene. Around 3 a.m., officials were called to another crash involving a pedestrian in the 8600 block of East Freeway, but it was confirmed by authorities the two were unrelated. Tragically, that pedestrian also died at the scene. No additional details were shared on both crashes, but an investigation of the Houston PD officer's crash with the Vehicular Crimes Division is underway.
