Taylor Swift Fan Dead in Houston

According to KHOU 11, 20-year-old Jacob Lewis and his sister April Bancroft, were on the way home from Taylor Swift's "The Eras" concert in Houston, Texas. They had experienced some car trouble along the road.

When Lewis got out and started pushing the car, a ravaging vehicle swept him away, instantly killing him.

Authorities reported that the driver of the vehicle fled the scene immediately but was followed by a tow-truck driver who had witnessed the whole accident. Police were able to arrest 34-year-old Alan Bryant Hayes at the nearby location close to the venue.

According to Steve Lewis, the father of the victim, the driver got out and helped her daughter fish out his son under his car. After seeing what happened, Hayes fled the scene and offered no help or even displayed any remorse for what he had done.

Bryant has since been charged with failure to stop and render aid and felony driving while intoxicated for 3rd offense. He is currently booked at Harris County Jail. (via WSAZ)
