According to KGUN9, the police have made an arrest in the hit-and-run crash that injured a Tucson cyclist on Friday.

From the Star story:
“The woman had already fixed the damage on her windshield after
the crash, and had no car insurance, Samuel Abate’s father,
William, said he was told by police.”
Do you know why her license was suspended?
An auto glass tech went to her house to install a new windshield she ordered. He called 911 after completing the job because of the hair and blood http://www.kold.com/story/14713030/dad-says-police-make-arrest-in-sons-hit-and-run
If that’s true, the girl is in pretty deep slam-dunk trouble.
Memo to motorists: whatever happened, stay at the scene.

This whole story is tragic from beginning to end.
I’m encouraged that TPD appears not to have failed on this one – unlike what we’ve come from experience to expect, they:
Didn’t slap the injured innocent victim with a bogus ticket
Actually opened an investigation
When she was found, they actually arrested the driver on serious charges!
Hopefully this is representative of a shift in attitude at TPD.
serves her right!
That’s just sad – I hope he’s doing better. The girl looks like she didn’t have any plans on getting caught, whatsoever. I mean, she immediately drove to a car repair shop to hide the evidence! Damon did the right thing – if he were to keep that broken glass, he could have been framed up, too!
Thank goodness, the guy called 911, else the girl could have escaped to hit another biker on the road. There are still nice people out there, really.
That’s right. Running away will only make matters worse. If the accident is just that, an accident, then the situation would not be so problematic. But trying to evade responsibility over an accident adds another wrong move to a perpetrator’s repertoire.
