WESLACO, TX — A woman lost her life in a tragic auto-pedestrian crash late Sunday night along Mile 4 Road, marking a harrowing reminder of the dangers lurking on high-speed local streets.
Authorities from the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) confirmed that the victim was walking southbound on Mile 4 when she was struck by a dark-colored vehicle. The driver fled the scene without stopping to provide aid. Tragically, the woman died from her injuries at the site of the crash.
The deadly collision has rattled residents in this otherwise quiet stretch of Weslaco, where traffic concerns have long been whispered but never realized with such grave consequences.

DPS Seeking Help from Public
Texas DPS has launched an investigation and is asking for the community’s help in identifying the vehicle involved. While no additional details about the vehicle or the victim have been released at this time, authorities are urging anyone who witnessed the incident or has surveillance footage from nearby properties to come forward.
“We believe someone out there knows something, or may have seen something that could help bring justice to the victim and her family,” said an officer involved with the case.
If you have any information that could assist in locating the driver or the vehicle, please contact Texas DPS at 📞 (956) 565-7600.

Mile 4 is no stranger to speeding complaints. Local residents have long expressed concern about vehicles racing down the stretch, particularly during evening hours. While it had never been the scene of a fatal accident before, this incident may finally bring more scrutiny to the road’s safety standards.
Community leaders and concerned citizens are now pressing for increased patrolling and possible implementation of traffic-calming measures, such as speed bumps or added signage.
Moving Forward
As the investigation continues, the community mourns the victim and grapples with questions of accountability, infrastructure, and public safety.
This incident underscores the critical need for vigilant driving, responsible community reporting, and proactive government response when residents voice concerns about local road conditions.
