SAN ANTONIO -- Police say the driver of the truck that hit and killed a homeless man Tuesday has come forward.
A witness said he saw a truck turn left out of the HEB parking lot and head south on Walzem Road, near Montgomery, around 7:30 p.m. Tuesday. The truck then hit the victim, who was crossing the street without a crosswalk. The unidentified man died at the scene. Police said he is a Hispanic man in his 60s.
Witnesses and police said the truck stopped after the accident. A passenger got out of the truck, checked out the victim, and then got back into the truck and left with the driver.
