FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Release Date: Jan. 20, 2021
Contact: Public Information Office     512-974-5017    Email

Case:           21-0091207
 
Date:            Saturday, January 9, 2021

Time:           9:21 p.m.

Location:     4000 block of Airport Boulevard  

Deceased:   Connor Avery Hughes | White male | January 5, 2000

The preliminary investigation shows that the pedestrian, later identified as Connor Avery Hughes, attempted to cross midblock in the 4000 block of Airport Boulevard. He was struck by a blue, 2012 Chevrolet Cruze that was traveling northbound.

Connor Hughes was transported by Austin-Travis County EMS to Dell Seton Medical Center at the University of Texas where he died on January 11, 2021.

The driver of the Cruze remained on scene and showed no signs of impairment. It also does not appear that excessive speed was a factor. There are no charges expected.

This is an ongoing investigation. Anyone with information regarding this case should call APD’s Vehicular Homicide Unit Detectives at (512) 974-4424. You can also submit tips by downloading APD’s mobile app, Austin PD, for free on iPhone and Android.

This was Austin’s second fatal traffic crash of 2021, resulting in two fatalities. At the time in 2020, there were three traffic fatalities.
 
These statements are from the initial assessment of the fatal crash and investigation is still pending. Fatality information may change.
