The accident happened on the 610 North Loop around 2:20 a.m. on the northeast side of town. A blue Honda Accord was headed westbound on the freeway when it pulled over to the driver and passenger could swap sweats. While the two people were outside the car, a second vehicle hit the left side of the Honda and kept going. 

A man was pronounced dead at the scene. 

The driver was hospitalized.

The driver’s son, also a passenger in the Honda, was hospitalized with minor injuries.
