The Killeen Police Department Traffic Unit is investigating a crash that resulted in injuries and significant damage to a residence, and officers arrested the driver, the department said in a release dated Thursday, October 22, 2026. A contemporaneous dispatch record for Blue Duck Drive in Killeen that night, published by CrimeRadar, also recorded a vehicle-versus-building call with rescue and medic units responding, corroborating the location and type of incident.
On Wednesday, October 21, at approximately 9:27 p.m., officers responded to the 4300 block of Blueduck Drive in reference to a vehicle that crashed into a residence, police said. The preliminary investigation revealed that a white Chevrolet Tahoe was travelling westbound on Newt Drive when the driver made an unsafe turn, lost control, and entered the backyard of a residence before striking the home, according to the department.
The impact caused significant damage, with the vehicle entering a bedroom where two residents were sleeping, police said. Both residents sustained minor injuries as a result of the crash. Following the collision, the driver and a passenger fled the scene without rendering aid or providing information, police alleged, and a second passenger was located injured in the roadway, where the residents rendered assistance.
During the investigation, officers located the driver, who was subsequently arrested, the department said. Police did not name the driver in the release cited, and did not list specific charges in that release.
