According to a release, Chambers was driving a blue Porshe 911 Carrera westbound on the 1200 block of Westheimer when she failed to maintain a single lane and struck a curb.
That impact, police said, caused the vehicle to leave the roadway and strike 33-year-old Joseph McMullin, who was a pedestrian on the sidewalk.
The vehicle then continued to travel and struck a pole in a nearby parking lot.
