HOUSTON – A love triangle in northeast Houston turned violent — and it was all caught on camera.
A father said his wife’s lover is behind a hit-and-run that left him in a wheelchair, and he’s now seeking justice.
Miguel Alvarado said he was standing on a street, hoping to confront the man he claims is seeing his wife. Instead, he was hit by a dark-colored SUV that sped off near the intersection of Tidford Street and Friendly Road.
“Everything went dark, and I don’t remember a thing. When I woke up, I was in pain. I broke my foot, and my shoulder was dislocated,” Alvarado said.
The video shows Alvarado, his wife, and their 14-year-old son. Moments after Alvarado was hit, his son can be seen hitting the SUV’s window.
Alvarado says he caught his wife of 24 years talking to another man. When he confronted her, she called that man to pick her up. Alvarado was hoping to confront him but instead ended up injured.
When asked how long he would be in the wheelchair, Alvarado replied, “Like three to four weeks, depending.”
Despite the injuries, he is thankful to be alive and grateful his six children are supporting him.
“All my children are helping me with all the expenses too,” he said.
KPRC 2 spoke with Alvardo’s wife, she said the man who was attempting to pick her up was someone she was formerly involved with.
She added that she doesn’t believe he hit her husband on purpose but said he sped up because he felt like he was in danger.
The Houston Police Department said they are investigating the matter but have not made any arrests or identified the suspect yet.
