A man jaywalking on Lee Road near 59/Eastex was struck and killed by a passing semi on Sunday evening.
According to reports from the Harris County Sheriff's Office, on Sunday November 11, 2018, at approximately 8:30 PM, a driver was operating a white, 2012, Peterbilt tractor truck and traveling north in the far right lane at 14300 Lee Rd.
Also traveling north, in the left lane just ahead of the Peterbilt, was a light-colored sedan. The sedan swerved into the right lane causing Mr. Odocharty to swerve left to avoid a collision.
At the same time, a pedestrian (later identified as Andrew Logan Gillenwater Jr.) was unlawfully crossing Lee Rd. on foot from west to east.
The Peterbilt struck Mr. Gillenwater.
Mr. Gillenwater was found with no signs of life as a result of the collision.
No charges have been filed, and the case is currently being investigated by the Harris County Sheriff's Office Vehicular Crimes Division.
