Fort Bend man could be first to be prosecuted under new crosswalk law

A Fort Bend man was arrested and charged Friday after striking and killing a pedestrian at a Sugar Land crosswalk. Bao Giang was charged and could be the first to face a prosecution under a new cross walk law, The Lisa Torry Smith Act, that finds a motor vehicle accident involving pedestrians within an area of a crosswalk an offense, and falling in violation of the act will land offenders with at least a Class A misdemeanor charge, up to a felony. The collision happened around 8 a.m. Friday when Giang collided with Don Yeager, a Sugar Land resident, in a New Territory subdivision crosswalk.
