A female pedestrian was killed after being struck on Interstate 69 in Splendora, Texas, early on Sunday morning, police said.
Splendora Police Department officers were first called at about 6.30am after reports of a woman walking along the highway. They searched the area but did not find her.
Less than 30 minutes later, police received a second report of a woman lying in a turning lane. Officers found her dead at the scene and established that she was the same person reported earlier.
The driver involved in the collision contacted police, returned to the scene and provided dashcam footage of the incident, according to investigators.
The Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office has decided not to bring criminal charges at this stage, based on the initial investigation. The circumstances surrounding the crash remain under review.
Neither the pedestrian nor the driver had been publicly identified, and police were working to contact the woman’s relatives.
