Candice BondYong Gil Hur, 70, a pastor, was killed in a pedestrian crash on Folmar Parkway in Montgomery on November 3.
The Early Morning Crash on Folmar Parkway
The crash happened early Tuesday near where Folmar Parkway meets Bill Joseph Parkway, and officers arrived to find Hur dead. Hur was a husband and a father. His family said he began working as a truck driver around the time of the pandemic, hoping to save enough money for mission trips with his wife. He was working when he was killed. His family said he spent his life serving and giving to others, and that they plan to look after his wife as a way to honor him.
Where the Montgomery Investigation Stands
Investigators identified the driver of the Chevrolet Malibu as Tashanna Diane Harris, 26. Harris has been charged with tampering with evidence and felony hit-and-run. According to charging documents, she met with police in a Cong W L Dickinson Drive parking lot that afternoon and gave a statement voluntarily. The documents said she told investigators she drove a short distance, pulled over, became nervous and then went home. They also said she had a glass company repair her windshield, which was damaged in the collision. Hur's family started a GoFundMe to help his wife.
Police often share a description of the vehicle they are looking for, such as its color or the damage it may have. Those details help people nearby recognize it.
