The Texas Department of Public Safety arrested a Harlingen man and three passengers weeks after a hit-and-run crash left a pedestrian in critical condition, according to a Friday news release.
Hector Ulises Guzman-Soto, 26, was arrested on a charge of failing to stop and render aid causing serious bodily injuries, and tampering with physical evidence.
Three passengers — Valerie Rainy Alvarez, 26; Viviana Clarissa Sanchez, 27; and Abelardo Pena, 26 — were also arrested on charges of failing to report a felony with serious bodily injuries.
