Crystal Beach Pedestrian Struck and Killed on Highway 87 CRYSTAL BEACH, Texas — A 69-year-old local resident died Saturday evening after being struck by a vehicle while attempting to cross State Highway 87, authorities said. Deputies with the Galveston County Sheriff’s Office responded to the crash around 5:00 p.m. on Nov. 7 in the 2100 block of State Highway 87. First responders arrived to find the pedestrian, identified Sunday as Paul Brabazon of Crystal Beach, deceased at the scene. According to preliminary findings from investigators, Brabazon was attempting to cross the highway while carrying two plates of food when an oncoming vehicle struck him. The driver involved stopped immediately, remained at the scene, and cooperated fully with law enforcement, officials said. Investigators noted the motorist also voluntarily consented to a blood draw as part of standard procedure. The collision forced emergency personnel to shut down both eastbound and westbound lanes of State Highway 87 between Gulf Shores Drive and Alberdie Drive for several hours while units documented the area, diverting evening traffic away from the scene. The Sheriff’s Office Crash Team, Crime Scene Unit, and Criminal Investigations Division are handling the ongoing inquiry. Detectives are working to establish the vehicle's speed at the time of the impact and are requesting area business owners and residents to share any nearby surveillance footage that might assist in reconstructing the crash. "The Galveston County Sheriff's Office extends its deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Mr. Brabazon during this difficult time," the agency said in an official statement. "We recognize the profound impact of this tragic loss and extend our heartfelt sympathy to all those affected."
