On Tuesday, February 27, 2024, tragedy struck on the 15800 block of FM529 in Harris County, Texas, as an unidentified black male lost his life in a collision involving two vehicles.

At approximately 10:21 PM, the unidentified male was riding a bicycle on a small raised concrete strip dividing the eastbound and westbound lanes of FM529.

Following the initial collision, Bukhari pulled over into the far right lane. Meanwhile, a second vehicle, a red Honda HR-V driven by Va Troung, approached in the left eastbound traffic lane. Despite attempts to avoid the collision, Troung’s vehicle collided with the unidentified male and the bicycle, causing damage to the front right of his vehicle and the undercarriage.
