Girl Killed Monday Night In Vehicle-Pedestrian Accident Is Identified.

CONROE, TX -- Police have released the identity of a 15-year old girl who was killed Monday evening by a westbound vehicle on Texas 105 as she attempted to run across the highway.

Savannah Pero, a Montgomery High School sophomore and her twin sister were running across Texas 105 West near April Sound in Conroe just past dark Monday when a Chevy Malibu struck Savannah, killing her.

Members of the Montgomery County Constable’s Office said the Conroe Fire Department arrived at the accident scene within a few minutes and that the girl was dead when they arrived.

Montgomery County Precinct 1 Justice of the Peace Officials Wayne Mack said he had to wait for additional tests to release her identity, who also ordered Pero's autopsy before meeting with the family.

Friends of the family have set up a GoFundMe page to help pay for funeral expenses, with a goal of $5,000.

Mandy Walve, who set up the page on behalf of the family, described Savannah as, “...a beautiful girl inside and out, with a bright future ahead of her.”

The family, who is from New York, has reportedly endured significant hardship over the last couple of years with the sudden death of Savannah Pero’s father, and grandfather.

Meanwhile, Montgomery ISD is offering counseling through the MHS Crisis Response Team over the next few days.

The district sent a message to parents early Tuesday morning alerting them of the death.

"Our thoughts are with her family during this difficult time," the message stated. "This loss will likely raise many emotions, concerns and questions for the entire school, especially for our students."

The driver volunteered to give a blood sample, as the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office requires in all fatal accidents.

No charges have been filed, and the accident remains under investigation by the Texas Department of Public Safety.
