April Bancroft is physically okay, but she said she’s never been at a lower point. She saw the suspected DWI driver hit her brother.
“You know, to make it worse, the driver (Bryant) got out, helped my daughter get my son out from under his car, saw what had happened and got in his car and left,” Jacob’s dad, Steve Lewis, said.
Lewis said his son was a longtime lover of musical theatre. He also enjoyed video games and storytelling. He qualified for the Pokémon world championship three times.
Bryant was charged with failure to stop and render aid but other charges are possible. He was being held at the Harris County Jail.
