Hit and Run Accident Leaves One Dead

On Monday, July 4, a previous Memphis resident was relaxing outside a St. Louis tavern with several of his friends. It was during this time that a Hyundai struck him – fleeing the scene immediately after. The victim was taken directly to the Saint Louis University Hospital, however, died shortly after from complications caused by the accident.

The man who had been driving the vehicle at the time of the accident was later found and arrested. After being tried in criminal court, he was found to be guilty of a felony involving leaving the scene of the accident.
