Haney, who faces re-election against two opponents on Saturday, left the Galveston County Justice Center after sitting in on the grand jury proceedings.
Investigators said Hong Phuc Le, 33, and his father Van Duoc Le, 58, were standing outside of a stopped black truck near the Mitchell Causeway on I-45 when Haney, driving another pickup, hit them.

At the time of the incident, Haney tested negative for eight illegal drugs, including amphetamines, opiates, cocaine, and THC. The toxicology tests detected amounts of pseudoephedrine (Sudafed) and zolpidem (a sedative most commonly used in Ambien), but there was no further testing done to determine those amounts.
