Killeen Police are investigating an afternoon Hit and Run crash on Fort Hood St. and Central Texas Expressway.

Officers responded to the area of Central Texas Expressway and Fort Hood St. on Friday, June 17, 2016, at 1:28pm, after receiving 911 calls advising them that a male had been hit by a vehicle.  Upon the officers’ arrival they located a 33 year old male lying in the eastbound right turn lane on Central Texas Expressway at Fort Hood Street.
