DPS seeks black Toyota Camry after Coryell County hit-and-run injury crash
Texas DPS is seeking a black Toyota Camry with plate 6DF5667 after a May 1 hit-and-run on US 190 in Copperas Cove injured a Mustang driver.
Texas Department of Public Safety investigators are asking Coryell County residents to help locate a four-door black Toyota Camry they say fled a crash on westbound US 190 in Copperas Cove and left one driver injured.
The collision happened at about 8:03 a.m. on May 1, 2026, on the Highway 190 Bypass. DPS says a 2012 Ford Mustang was traveling westbound when the Camry crossed into its lane and struck it. The sedan, which investigators say bore license plate number 6DF5667 with an unknown state, then continued eastbound without stopping to render aid or provide the required information.
The Mustang driver was hurt and taken to AdventHealth Hospital in Killeen for treatment. Because the crash involved an injury and a vehicle that left the scene, DPS is treating it as a serious hit-and-run investigation and is asking anyone who saw the Camry or captured it on video to come forward.
Under Texas Transportation Code Chapter 550, drivers involved in collisions on public roads must stop and provide information and render aid when required. That duty is central to hit-and-run cases, including those that turn into injury investigations like the one in Copperas Cove.
Tips can be sent to Sgt. Bryan Washko at bryan.washko@dps.texas.gov or by calling 254-247-0849. Investigators are likely to be especially interested in surveillance video from businesses, homes, and traffic cameras near westbound US 190 and the Highway 190 Bypass, where the crash occurred during the morning commute.
The case comes as Coryell County has already seen another deadly hit-and-run investigation in recent months. In that December 26, 2025 case, DPS investigated a fatal crash involving 63-year-old Benny Ray Manning of Copperas Cove, underscoring how seriously officials are treating this latest injury crash and the search for the driver of the black Camry.
