Woman Charged With Intoxication Manslaughter In Pedestrian Crash

CONROE, TX-- A 27-year-old woman accused of running over two people as they walked their bicycles along the shoulder of the road was arrested and charged with intoxication manslaughter and tampering with evidence, police said. Kristina Hardin was driving an SUV in the 1900 block of E. Davis Street in Conroe at about 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday when police said she ran off the roadway and ran over a man and a woman.

Police said the man tried to push his girlfriend out of the way, but not before he was hit and killed. His girlfriend suffered minor injuries from the accident.

A witness who was walking with the couple said she saw Hardin toss a pill bottle into the ditch on the side of the road after the crash.

Hardin was taken to the Montgomery County Jail and is out on bail. The names of the victims have not been released.
