Davis police arrested a Modesto man on felony hit-and-run and drunken driving charges Wednesday night following a collision in northeast Davis.
Deputy Police Chief Ton Phan said the crash occurred at about 10 p.m. at the intersection of East Covell Boulevard and Pole Line Road, where witnesses reported that suspect ran a red light, broadsided another car, then continued traveling eastbound on Covell. The other driver sustained minor injuries.
“During the investigation, the suspect returned to the scene to take responsibility for his role in the collision,” Phan said.
