A Dallas Ralph Lauren worker who was tragically killed in a horror drunk driving hit-and-run that left her TikTok star roommate clinging to life in the ICU has been pictured.
Sara House, 22, was remembered by her heartbroken family as a 'bright spirit' after she lost her life on February 11, in a crash that left her friend Camryn Herriage, 23, fighting for her life.
While the 23-year-old shows signs of recovery, tributes have poured in for House, who was remembered in a GoFundMe for her 'bright spirit and infectious laughter.'
'Sara was known for her compassionate nature and her unwavering desire to make everyone around her happy,' her loved ones said last month.
'Her kindness and caring demeanor touched the lives of many, leaving a lasting impression on all who knew her.'
The two were struck on February 11 by an 'extremely intoxicated' woman, later identified as 27-year-old Carmen Guerrero, who bystanders claimed fled the scene on foot before her arrest 11 days later.

House, 23, worked as an executive sales associate assistant at Ralph Lauren after graduating from Texas Tech, having studied business, management and marketing and also competed in bikini competitions.
Herriage and House were riding in a car alongside three other friends when they were allegedly hit by Guerrero as they were waiting for a red light.
At the scene, witnesses claimed they saw the driver who caused the crash flee from the driver's side of the Ford truck and run 'wearing a small black dress and white clubbing shoes,' an arrest affidavit said.
Witnesses described the woman as appearing to be 'extremely intoxicated', and was identified as Guerrero after detectives found her wallet inside the abandoned truck.
Guerrero was taken into custody 11 days after the crash, and is now facing multiple charges, including manslaughter and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. She is being held in Dallas County jail.

In a positive update to Herriage's recovery shared Wednesday, Herriage's family said she had 'another fantastic night' and was showing strong signs as she was able to 'breathe on her own again.'
'The medical team is managing her ventilator use strategically, allowing her to breathe independently at intervals. While this occasionally triggers a yellow alert on the machine, it's a normal part of the process,' the update read.
'Excitingly, Camryn has achieved a significant milestone: she tracked with both eyes last night and again this morning, something she hadn't been able to do, especially to her left.'
They said her nurses are 'thrilled' with her recovery progress, and her 'continuous improvement is heartening for everyone involved, and we're filled with hope and gratitude for these positive signs.'
In a previous update, her family said she is set for a skull replacement in around two months.

Tributes have poured in for the senseless loss of House as her friend and roommate battles her recovery, as her family shared her 'devastating' loss in a fundraiser to pay for her funeral and medical bills.
'Sara was known for her compassionate nature and her unwavering desire to make everyone around her happy,' the fundraiser read.
'Her kindness and caring demeanor touched the lives of many, leaving a lasting impression on all who knew her.'
While Herriage continues to fight for her life in the ICU, her older sister Casie Campanello has not left her side for weeks.
'Literally, a careless act. Put us in a situation that changed all of our lives,' she said. 'We are very helpless and just stay strong for her, but it's very difficult to see.'
She added: 'When she came out of her first surgery, the surgeon told us he told us he never saw anyone make it to the hospital with her injury. So she has a purpose.'
