Justin Balka, 38, has been identified as the man who lost his life in a tragic hit-and-run auto-pedestrian crash in Beaumont, Texas, Friday evening. His sudden passing has left a life ended far too soon and a community mourning the loss of a person whose life held meaning to family, friends, and those who knew him.
According to Beaumont Police, officers responded at approximately 8:40 p.m. to the 2900 block of Washington Boulevard, between 4th and 5th Street, after receiving a report of an auto-pedestrian crash. When officers arrived, they found Balka unresponsive in the roadway. Beaumont EMS also responded, but sadly, he had already died.
