Police are seeking the hit-and-run driver and passenger of a stolen Isuzu SUV that hit and killed motorcyclist Thomas Hooper in northeast Harris County last night. The crash happened around 7:00 p.m. in the 400 block of Uvalde at Woodforest. Thomas was pulling out of a parking lot on his motorbike to turn north onto Uvalde when the SUV struck him from behind. Thomas and his motorcycle were dragged for some distance before the motorcycle caught fire, subsequently igniting the SUV as well. After the SUV started burning, the witnesses saw two men in the SUV jump out and run away. The Isuzu was reported stolen in a carjacking earlier.
Hopefully because the Isuzu was stolen the driver responsible for Mr. Hooper's death will face more serious charges than failure to stop and render aid. Because the Isuzu was stolen at the time of the accident, even if the vehicle is insured, there would no coverage for this tragedy because the thief did not have permission to use the SUV.
