Hit-and-run driver critically injures ped at S. Austin Walmart, 2/8/18

A pickup driver hit a woman walking in the parking lot of a S. Austin Walmart gas station and, as is frequently the case, just kept going.  The woman is in critical condition, and police are looking for the driver.  "The pickup truck is a diesel Dodge pickup with a lift kit. It’s dark green with oversized wheels and a front brush guard."

Police released video of the incident, which I haven't had the stomach to watch.

The vehicle reportedly belongs to an AISD police officer.
