A tragic hit-and-run in East Bernard has claimed the life of 25-year-old Citali Perez Hernandez. Authorities say she was walking along Dill Street near College Street late Thursday morning when she was hit by a Toyota Camry. The driver, 29-year-old Courtney Michelle Smith of East Bernard, initially fled but later returned to the scene. Hernandez was taken to OakBend Medical Center in Richmond, where she later died. Smith now faces a felony charge for failure to stop and render aid, along with two misdemeanors. The Texas DPS continues to investigate.
