Mother hit by Houston police cruiser in front of 3 children

HOUSTONHouston police hit a mother who’d just gotten off a bus with her three children Thursday night.

Witnesses told police she was crossing the road with her children and may have dropped her bus card in the street and was hit when she bent down to pick it up.

This happened along Antoine Street near Pinemont in NW Houston.

The woman is in critical condition at Ben Taub Hospital.

Her children range in age from 10 to 16.

A large crowd gathered initially and people were upset the woman had been hit.

“We got a loud crowd. They were very upset about what had just occurred and they kinda just all dispersed,” said Commander Luis Menendez-Sierra.

Police are asking anyone with information to please call them at 713-308-3600.
