LDL. Two Vehicles, No One Stopped: Family Prays for Alize Mireles as Houston Hit-and-Run Investigation Looms

A Houston family is living through every parent’s nightmare after a New Year’s Day morning turned into a sudden, life-altering tragedy.

According to information shared by Alize Mireles’ loved ones, 19-year-old Alize Mireles was seriously injured in a hit-and-run on I-45 near Crosstimbers just after 4:30 a.m. on January 1. Her family says Alize had pulled over onto the shoulder, and for reasons still unclear, she stepped out of her vehicle.

That’s when everything changed.

Her family reports that Alize was struck by one vehicle that did not stop — and then, moments later, hit again by a second vehicle that also fled the scene. Now, Alize remains in critical condition, and those who love her are caught between two agonizing waits: the fight for her recovery and the search for accountability.

“She Was Just Starting Her Life”

To the outside world, the details read like a frightening headline — a late-night highway stop, two vehicles, no drivers stopping.

To her family, it’s personal.

They describe Alize as kind, strong, and a bright presence in their lives — “a light,” the kind of person who didn’t deserve to be facing a battle for her life. They say she had just graduated high school, standing at the edge of a new chapter filled with plans, hope, and the promise of everything that was still ahead.

Now that future is uncertain, and her loved ones are bracing themselves minute by minute.

A Community Asked to Help Fill the Gaps

Because the family says so many questions remain — including why Alize exited her vehicle and what happened in the moments after — they are asking the public for help.

In situations like this, even small details can matter: a vehicle seen speeding away, a driver behaving suspiciously afterward, a dashcam clip, or someone who remembers being on that stretch of road at that exact time.

If you were in the area or have any information that could help investigators, contact local authorities. One phone call could bring the answers her family is desperate for.

Prayer, Support, and a Fight That Isn’t Over

As Alize remains hospitalized, her mother and family are leaning on faith and support while they face the reality of critical care — the long hours, the uncertainty, the emotional whiplash of “small improvements” followed by new fear.

They’re asking people to lift Alize up in prayer:

• for healing
• for strength for her mother and family
• for answers that lead to justice

For now, Alize’s story is a reminder of how quickly life can turn — and how much a family needs a community when it does.
