Plano, TX (December 8, 2025) – Police in Plano are investigating a hit-and-run that left a person unconscious near a Home Depot parking lot on Central Expressway on Sunday morning, December 7. Authorities received a report around 7:22 a.m. and arrived to find one injured. The person was unconscious but still breathing when first responders located them.
Early information shows that a vehicle struck the person and then fled the scene. Paramedics provided care at the scene and prepared the victim for transport so doctors could evaluate the injuries. Officials have not released details about the person’s identity or current condition.
Police continue to look for the vehicle involved. The investigation remains active as officers search for the driver.
We hope the injured person receives strong medical care and makes a full recovery.
Hit-and-Run Accidents in Texas
Hit-and-run crashes create two layers of harm. First, they cause physical injury from the impact. Second, they leave victims without immediate answers about who is responsible. Parking lots and shopping areas can feel safer than major roads, but they still carry real danger.
Drivers may cut across lanes, back out quickly, or fail to watch for people walking toward stores. When a driver leaves after a crash, it can delay medical help and make recovery harder.
Victims in hit-and-run incidents, especially in parking lots, may face injuries such as:
- Head injuries or concussions, which can happen when a person falls to the pavement after impact.
- Traumatic brain injuries that may affect thinking, balance, or memory for a long time.
- Broken bones in the arms, legs, ribs, or hips, often caused by the force of the strike.
- Neck and back injuries, including whiplash or spinal damage, even at lower speeds.
- Internal injuries, such as bleeding or organ trauma, that may not show symptoms right away.
- Deep cuts, bruises, and road rash from sliding or landing on concrete.
- Psychological stress, including fear of walking near traffic or signs of post-traumatic stress.
Because the driver is unknown at first, victims may worry about how to pay for treatment. Medical bills can build quickly after ambulance transport, emergency imaging, and hospital care. Some people also miss work while they heal, which adds another strain.
A personal injury attorney can help by taking steps that victims often cannot handle on their own. Legal support may include working with police to track video footage, talking to witnesses, reviewing damage patterns, and helping with insurance claims.
If investigators identify the driver, a lawyer can pursue a claim against that person’s insurance. If they do not find the driver, a lawyer may still help the victim seek coverage through uninsured motorist benefits or other available policies. The goal is to protect the injured person from being left with the financial burden of someone else’s choice to flee.
