A hit-and-run pedestrian accident occurred Friday around midnight in Longview, Texas.  The car accident occurred on the 1300 block of East Marshall Avenue which is a stretch of the highway with several bars and nightclubs.

Witnesses to the accident say 45-year old William J. Jones walked out of a parking lot to cross the street when he was hit by a white Geo Tracker.  Jones rolled over the hood of the car and into the median and the Geo Tracker fled the scene of the accident.  Witnesses estimated that the vehicle was traveling at around 45 to 50 miles per hour when it hit Jones.

Longview police later found a car that exhibited evidence of a hit-an-run and arrested 22-year old Anna Catherine Shore.  Shore is being held in Gregg County Jail with charges of driving with a suspended license and failing to stop at an accident involving personal injury.  Authorities are awaiting the results from a blood sample taken from Shore to find out whether or not she was driving while intoxicated.
