 Posted on March 11, 2013 in Uncategorized

The driver in a hit-and-run accident in Denver has turned himself in, according to the Denver Post. Two people were seriously injured in the accident, and the driver fled the scene. Upon turning himself in, the driver is being investigated for several offenses including leaving the scene of an accident involving serious injuries. The driver is cooperating with Denver Police at this time. The car left the parking lot of a restaurant at high speed, apparently after a fight, and struck two pedestrians, a husband and wife. The 26-year-old driver later called the police wanting to turn himself in. Police have also recovered the vehicle that was probably used in the crash.
