Mission Police Department Assistant Chief Jody Tittle says the pedestrian was hit by a vehicle while trying to pick up items lying on the street.

He says the man will eventually be arrested because he fled the scene.  

KRGV’s Trason Bragg explains why the driver is facing charges even though the pedestrian was at fault.
