Man Accused In Fatal Hit-And-Run Surrenders To Police

NEW CANEY, TX — A 23-year-old man faces charges of failing to stop and render aid after he fatally hit a teenager Saturday night and fled the scene of the accident. Logan Foster is in the Montgomery County Jail and is charged in the death of 17-year-old New Caney High School student Joshua Edward Givens. Foster’s bond is set at $100,000.

Texas DPS investigators said Givens was walking home from a quinceanera on Saturday night, when Logan, who was allegedly driving on the wrong side of the road, hit Givens with his car.

Givens’ body was discovered by a passerby at about 12:30 a.m. The witness told DPS investigators that the boy was laying face down in a waterlogged ditch in the 22200 block of McCleskey between Penny Road and U.S. 59 and that they tried to revive him.

Foster, who may have been intoxicated at the time of the crash, turned himself at the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office on Sunday morning.

Givens, who was a popular student athlete, was referred to as someone who could “brighten up the darkest room and his smile could turn anyone's day around.”

The family has set up a GoFundMe account to help raise money for funeral expenses. To donate, click here.
