Houston police are investigating after two women were killed in a hit-and-run crash in Sunnyside after they were allegedly fighting in the road, officials say.
Dig deeper:
Court records say Wilson went to a police station to give a statement about the crash.
Allegedly, Wilson told a detective that she was driving from a loved one's house when she "felt a big impact" under the car. According to documents, Wilson claimed that she thought she struck a pothole and kept driving.
She then went to a family member's apartment, telling them she didn't know what she had struck.
An investigator gathered evidence and Wilson's statements, then contacted the Harris County District Attorney's Office. An attorney accepted the charges against Wilson.
What we don't know:
Records did not specify when the investigation started, what day Wilson gave her statement, and what day the District Attorney's Office accepted Wilson's charges.
