The Houston Police Department said a man was sleeping under the bridge on the Katy Freeway at Silber overpass when he was hit by an SUV at about 11:30 p.m.
According to police, a 17-year-old is suspected of being intoxicated while driving. Police told Eyewitness News that he lost control of the car, and went up onto the curb under the bridge, running over the man and killing him.
HPD said once the teen's Mercedes SUV came to a stop, he tried to run, but a Jack in the Box employee ran across the feeder road, caught the 17-year-old, and held him until police arrived.
