Well cool. I guess no problem then. Still, glad to see the narratives starting to note many of the issues, not just "not in a crosswalk." Lighting is a major issue on a lot of streets, in all of Harris County,

What's the address? How far away is the nearest crosswalk? Is the sidewalk even passable for someone in a wheelchair?

Crash appears to have happened here: goo.gl/maps/VH9ZktCua
You can see where the truck/wheelchair were stopped in this vid:

Update: @houstonpolice say an older man was crossing Holmes Rd. in a blacked out wheelchair — truck driver couldn’t see him and crashed into him.
They say this area is VERY dark during overnight hours.
Neither men were impaired, speed wasn’t a factor. #khou11 #HTownRush

Sidewalk/ramp from that block (south side of Holmes) is pretty harrowing.
Let's get the Vision Zero Tactical Urbanism Squad assembled and deployed

I used to get mad that the police don't charge people that inadvertently murder pedestrians, but now I'm mad that they don't even have a decent sidewalk, either.
